A very simple answer is lysogenic virus. it could still kill the cell eventually if it becomes lytic.

The process of entrance and growth of a microorganism or virus in the host is called?

The process of entrance and growth of a microorganism or virus in the host is called infection. Infection occurs when the pathogen gains access to the host's tissues, replicates or multiplies within the host, and causes disease symptoms.


Does a lysogenic virus inject their DNA into the host cell?

No, a lysogenic virus integrates its DNA into the host cell's genome instead of injecting it. This integrated viral DNA, called a prophage, replicates along with the host cell's DNA.


What is retrovirus?

A retrovirus is a type of virus that stores its genetic information in the form of RNA instead of DNA. It replicates by converting its RNA into DNA using an enzyme called reverse transcriptase, which allows the virus to integrate its genetic material into the host cell's DNA. Examples of retroviruses include HIV and HTLV.


What is the best definition of the word virus?

A virus is a microscopic infectious agent that replicates inside living cells of organisms. It can cause a range of diseases in plants, animals, and humans.


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.
