Yes, viruses require a host in order to reproduce. They cannot replicate on their own and rely on infecting a host cell to reproduce and spread.
they reproduce independentlyThis is a false statement as viruses need a host cell and it's replicative machinery to reproduce their genetic material.
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
Only within a living cell that they can take control of.
Viruses require a host cell to replicate and reproduce. They inject their genetic material into the host cell where it instructs the cell to make new virus particles.
yes a virus need host cell to repriduce becouse it lack enzyme system
a host cell
They both require a host cell to reproduce and they are both types of viruses

No. Viruses are not cells since they are not considered living. Scientists classify viruses as non-living because they require a host in order to reproduce, cannot move on their own, and do not expend energy in order to carry out life functions.
Because viruses need a live host in order to reproduce. Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites. Therefore, they cannot reproduce outside their host cell, and therefore die out. They are diffcult to culture because you need something living in order to culture them in, and see the progress.
Viruses cannot reproduce on their own. They must invade and infect other cells in order to be able to reproduce.
What we need to understand is, viruses do not have its own synthetic machinery such as ribosomes to make proteins. Hence they are completely dependent on the host synthetic machinery for their replication. Virus infects the host cells, integrate its genetic material with the host to produce progeny viral particles.
One of the characteristics is they contain genetic material (DNA), which is a characteristic that all living things must have in order to be considered living. And also when inside a host, they are able to reproduce, which all living things must be able to do.
