∙ 13y agoNo- a virus needs to hijack the cellular machinery of a cell to reproduce. As a virus does not have organelles e.g. ribosomes they cannot make any of their own proteins.

What organism that can reproduce only inside a host cell?
viruses can only reproduce in living cells by injecting their own dna into the nucleus
What would happen to a virus that never came in contact with a living cell-?
Since a virus can only replicate on a living cell, host cell, it wouldn't be able to reproduce.
A simple organism that can only reproduce within a living plant or animal cell they often cause disease?
that's a virus.
Do viruses only reproduce inside living things?
A Virus must invade a host cell in order to reproduce. What people commonly mix up with them is bacteria which has no need to
Can viruses live on their own?
No, because for a virus to reproduce, it needs a cell to take energy and stuff from. When the cell is dead it moves on to another cell. It short, it is very hard for a virus to reproduce or multiply, without a host (e.g. a red blood cell).
Can a virus only reproduce by a controlling cell.?
Yes, that's the ony way
What can a virus can only reproduce in?
a Cell
Can virus reproduce through multiple fission?
No. They can only reproduce through taking control of a host cell.
What organism that can reproduce only inside a host cell?
viruses can only reproduce in living cells by injecting their own dna into the nucleus
Where does a virus multiplied?
Viruses can only multiply (reproduce) within a host cell. The type of host cell is dependent on the virus' host range.
How is virus like a cell?
A virus is not similar to a cell, although it requires a host cell to reproduce. The only thing in common that a virus has to a cell is it has DNA.
What would happen to a virus that never came in contact with a living cell-?
Since a virus can only replicate on a living cell, host cell, it wouldn't be able to reproduce.
Can viruses reproduce with dead or alive cells?
Virus need a working DNA replicating machinary so they can be reproduce only in living cell.
Do viruses only reproduce within one cell?
Virus cannot replicate themselves. They should enter a living cell
Why do all virus cause diseases?
The only way a virus can reproduce is by detriment to the cells of the host. Any cell infected will probably die, and so every virus is bad for you.
What is the only life function that viruses share with a cell?
The only life function that a virus shares with a cell is reproduction. Both cells and viruses reproduce in some way.
A simple organism that can only reproduce within a living plant or animal cell they often cause disease?
that's a virus.
