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

What is neuramidase?
It is a protein on the influenza virus that is thought to help the virus escape from the cell after it replicates. Zanamivir and oseltamivir are drugs that inhibit this action and thus trap virus particles within an infected cell.
Does heredity occur in viruses-?
Heredity does occur in viruses. When a virus replicates it carried it to the offspring.
Which enzyme are retroviruses equiped with that allows them to transcribe DNA from an RNA template?
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a retrovirus. A retrovirus is a RNA virus that replicates through a DNA intermediate. HIV synthesises DNA from RNA by the action of reverse transcriptase enzyme.
How it lives virus?
I am assuming that you are asking how a virus lives in the body. A virus is NOT a live organism. It is able to penetrate the host's cells and duplicate the RNA/DNA within those cells and when those cells replicate, the virus also replicates, thus growing in numbers very quickly. Viruses are difficult to kill since they are not considered living organisms. One way that might help is to denature the proteins that are living inside the cytoplasm of the virus.
What was the very first virus written in 1981 called?
The first virus was called "Rother J".
As a virus replicates it changes its characteristics?
polymorphic
Where does a virus replicate its DNA?
A virus replicates its DNA in a cell when it infects the host
Which virus characteristic enables a virus to change specific aspects of itself when it replicates?
Polymorphism
An infection in which DNA of a virus is embedded into a host cell and replicates with host DNA is called what?
A Lysogenic Infection
A program that replicates by attaching itself to other programs?
virus
Does Polymorphic Change itself from a virus to a worm?
A polymorphic virus not only replicates itself by creating multiple files of itself, but it also changes it's digital signature every time it replicates.
What is the term of small and dependent program that replicates itself in a system?
virus
Cell in which a virus multiplies it self?
A virus replicates inside a host cell. For example 'Bacteriophase'
What organism replicates by taking over the genetic material of a host cell?
A virus.
A disease causing particle made of RNA without a capsid is called?
A Prion. It transmits a mis-folded protein state, and replicates by causing the host's proteins to replicate into its mis-folded pattern. Mad Cow disease is an example of a prion.
Why is a host cell unable to make its own proteins if the invading virus replicates?
The reason why a host cell is unable to make it`s protein while the invading virus replicates is because viruses typically not considered living organisms
What does virus on a computer mean?
A harmful program that replicates itself to other computers form yours.
