a virus can reproduce in any cell it is meant for. like, you can't get a skin virus in your stomach. some viruses affect more than one kind of cell

What happens to the provirus when the host cell reproduces?

When the host cell reproduces, the provirus is replicated along with the host cell's DNA. As the host cell divides, each daughter cell also inherits a copy of the provirus, which integrates into the genome of the new cells.


What is a virus that reproduces in a bacterium called?

A bacteriaphage (literally bacteria eater) is a virus that reproduces in a bacterium.


Second step in the reproductive cycle of an active virus?

The second step in the reproductive cycle of an active virus is penetration and entry into the host cell. Once the virus attaches to the host cell surface, it enters the cell through various mechanisms such as endocytosis or direct fusion with the cell membrane. This step allows the virus to deliver its genetic material into the host cell where it can begin replication and assembly of new virus particles.


How does a virus take over a cell?

They are like cockle burrs that "grab" hold of your clothing or a dog's coat. They are hijackers. Once they get attached, by attaching to matching docking proteins of a living cell, they can take it over and "make" the living cell produce virus particles instead of cell parts. These particles can assemble into more viruses and then they break out of the cell (killing it) and begin the process again.


Which organism is considered an exception to the cell theory?

Striated muscle fibers are considered an exception to the cell theory because they are multinucleated, meaning they have multiple nuclei within a single cell. This contradicts the cell theory's principle that states all living organisms are composed of one or more cells.

Nothing reproduces inside a virus. It has to latch on the a host cell and insert its' DNA or RNA and then make the host cell reproduce virus particles.

Does a virus reproudce by splitting in two?

No it does not. It reproduces by infecting/controlling a body cell and commands it to produce viruses.

How does a virus infect your body?

A virus infects your body by attaching to a host cell and injecting its genetic material into the cell. The virus then takes over the cell's machinery to replicate itself, eventually causing damage to the host cell. This can lead to various symptoms of the infection.


What is the cell in which a virus reproduces?

This is called a host cell. In the beginning, a virus will attach itself to the host cell and release its genetic material into it. This genetic material interferes with the host cell's enzymes which cause them to form parts in which will create a new virus.

How do you get infected with a virus like the flu?

Someone coughs on you (or near you ... possibly in time) You touch the virus, then you wipe your eyes (most commonly) The virus gets under your skin, gets into a cell of your body, and reproduces.


Is HIV binary fission or conjugation?

The HIV is a virus and does not perform the bacterial reproduction of binary fission or conjugation in order to reproduce. The only way a virus reproduces is by infecting a host cell.
