Yes they do. They are parasitic and attack cells for the things that they need for survival aswell as reproduction. Once in the cytoplasm of the cell, the virus code begins to activate. It uses the raw materials and some of the enzymes in the cell. It slowly takes over the function of the nuclear material of the cell and replicates many copies of its own genetic material, often coating these so that the cell has no control.
Often the virus will produce so many copies that the cell can no longer hold them. At this point the cell bursts releasing the new virus units.
