What is a virus that replicates without killing the host cell called?
A very simple answer is lysogenic virus. it could still kill the cell eventually if it becomes lytic.
What part of the lysogenic cycle is like the lytic cycle?
They both eventually cause death to the host cell. The lysogenic pathway includes integration into the host cell DNA, replication during fission, and a period of dormancy. The lytic pathway proceeds rapidly. The virus attaches and penetrates the host; viral DNA directs synthesis and replication; new viral particles are assembled and cuse the host cell to lysis. The infectious particles are quickly released into the host.
What do viruses use to destroy host cells after replication is complete?
The only way viruses can replicate ("reproduce") is to take over the cells of a living host.
Where must viruses be found if they are to reproduce?
A virus "replicates" [the term often heard in place of "reproduces"] inside a host cell with the process called the Lytic Cycle. The details of the steps of the Lytic Cycle are in the related questions below in the Related Questions section.Basically, once the virus has found a suitable host that is made up of the type of host cells that its virus type uses (i.e., plant, animal ~ including insects to humans, or bacteria), it attaches to the host. Then the virus implants the "key" to its genetic makeup into the cell. When this DNA "key" (or RNA in some viruses) of the virus is inserted into cells of a host, it allows the cells to be hijacked and, at the appropriate time for that particular virus, it instructs the host to make more virus particles. The virus can either lie dormant, such as in some cases of the HIV/AIDS virus, or immediately become active and command the host cell to start the replication processes.If the virus becomes active, it can then turn the host cell into a 'factory' for making more viruses. The result usually, but not always, is that the host becomes ill because the cells are no longer functioning as they should for the host while working on the job of the replication. With each cycle of replication, the virus particles can invade even more and more cells until the host's immune system (or other defense) can catch up to kill the invader.How_do_viruses_reproduce
Is a virus a sexual or asexual reproduction?
Viruses reproduce asexually in host cells because they are technically non-living organisms, they cannot reproduce sexually for that would require a virus to have two different virus "cells" (even though they are not living) in a host cell before the process of reproducing starts. This would cause the two viruses to "kill" each other before either could reproduce.
During which process does a virus kill its host cell?
lytic cycle
During what process does a virus kill its host cell?
The Lytic Cycle.
Does SARS go through a lytic or a lysogenic cycle?
The virus that causes AIDS, HIV, is lytic in nature. Once it attaches itself into a host cell, it will go about integrating its genetic material into the host cell and use its machinery to force the cell to make copies of the virus. Additionally, the viral cell will kill the host cell in the process.

How does the lytic cycle show that viruses are not living things?
The lytic cycle involves the viruses injecting nucleic acid into the cell to make the cell "sick". The lytic cycle proves viruses are non-living because the only way the cells reproduced at the end of the cycle was because of the host cell. A virus cannot reproduce on its own (only can with a host cell) as to which any living thing could. Viruses are non-living organisms and the lytic cylce proves just that. Viruses alos contain protogramo fluids that kill the cell. These fluids are what mostly make a virus considered non-living for reasons scientists have not yet come to an understanding to. Hope this helped you!:)
What effect will a virus in the lytic cycle have on in organism?
It is in the "reproduction" process when in the lytic cycle, so the effect will be that the virus will force the organism to replicate more and more "baby" viruses. The host cells will eventually die or be killed when it splits open (or buds) to release the new virus particles. The new particles will infect more and more cells of the host, killing the host's cells each time they split, making the host feel sicker and sicker until their defense systems figure out how to kill the viruses.The Norwalk virus (Norovirus) does not have a lyosgenic cycle. It does not remain dormant as lysogenic viruses can. It is lytic and is considered virulent.

Why dont antiviral medications kill host cells?
Usually anti-viral medications target enzymes used by the virus and not the host cell.
How are the normal functions of the host cell affected by the provirus?
A virus can: 1. Kill the host cell 2. Alter the cell; incorporate into the genetic material of the host cell, thus becoming part of its nucleic acid pool; or divide when the host cell divides.
