a virus isdifferent from normal cells meaning it does not go through mitoses (cell division) but instead it attaches to a cell and injects it's DNA in to the cell where it infects the nucleus to stop what it is doing and to start to produce more viruses. so a virus reproduces by making other cells do it for them

How can you relate this illustration to how the lysogenic cycle differs from the lytic cycle?

In the illustration, the lysogenic cycle is like a dormant phase where the virus's genetic material is integrated into the host cell's DNA, while the lytic cycle is like an active phase where the virus replicates and destroys the host cell. This shows how the lysogenic cycle differs from the lytic cycle in terms of their impact on the host cell and the timing of viral replication.


How are the lysogenic and lytic cycles different?

causes Disease


What is the lyctic cycle?

I suppose you mean "lytic cycle". It's the reproductive cycle of virus in which upon entering the host, the viral genome directs the host genome to produce viral proteins and after assembly and maturation of viral particles, they get released by host lysis. There is another cycle called lysogenic cycle in which the viral genome integrates with the host instead of causing lysis.


In what cycle of the viral replication does the virus the host cell?

During the cycle of viral shedding, the virus has made copies of itself and the host cell is no longer useful. The host cell then dies, and the new virus cells then must find a new host.


Compare and contrast a latent virus and an active virus.?

A latent virus remains dormant in the host cell without causing symptoms, but can reactivate later to cause disease. An active virus continuously replicates and causes symptoms, leading to an active infection. Both types of viruses can cause disease, but latent viruses have periods of inactivity while active viruses are constantly causing symptoms.

That the cold virus is an active virus or a hidden virus?

active virus


What is the difference between a active virus and a hidden virus?

The " hidden " virus is called a provirus and it insets it's genetic material into the genome of the invaded cell so that the cell copies itself many times and copies the virus also. An active virus just invades and hijacks the cell immediately to reproduce the virus. The " hidden " type of virus does come out after a time and acts like a active virus then Google lytic cycle and lysoginy.


How does an active(lytic) virus multiply?

An active virus, like all viruses has to "hijack" a host cell's DNA and then that DNA makes virus parts instead of cell parts. When the cell is full of the virus parts, it ruptures and dies. The viruses find other cells and repeat the cycle.


What is included in a lysogenic cycle?

something that has to do with viruses something that has to do with viruses correct : it is the cycle where a virus lays dormant inside the host cell until it is triggered to become active and then go into the lytic cycle.


How do hidden viruses differ from active viruses?

an active virus enters a cell and is active it causes the host cell to make new viruses, which destroy the host cell. a latent viruses is some viruses may be latent viruses. a latent virus enters a cell and its hereditary material may become part of the cell's hereditary materials.


Viral cycle in which the virus remains inactive in the host cell for long periods of time?

The virus remains in a latent state within the host cell during the lysogenic cycle. This allows the virus's genetic material to be incorporated into the host's genome without causing immediate harm. The virus can remain dormant for extended periods until external factors trigger it to switch to the lytic cycle, where it becomes active and replicates.

Is influenza virus a hidden virus or an active virus?

You do not categorize virus into hidden or active category. That way, every virus is hidden inside the cell. It can not grow outside the cell. Every virus is active. Otherwise it would have disappeared from the race of life. It is very interesting to know about the virus. Now you study it. Tomorrow the world will learn from you.
