Viruses replicate by hijacking a host's cells. The virus inserts its own RNA sequence into the host cell's nucleus, forcing it to replicate the virus until the host cell dies.

Can a smaller virus affect a bigger virus?

No because a virus is simply genetic material coated in a protein shell. Internally, viruses do not have the components, which are commonly found in cells, necessary to propagate "offspring."


What are the warning symptoms ofAnna kournikova virus?

This a computer virus and there are no actual symptoms. The Anna Kournikova virus is a self-replicate virus which means that when the system is infected with this virus the system will spread the infection to other systems which will propagate the virus further and so on. Users get this virus through an e-mail attachment. Upon opening this attachment the system gets infected and the virus mail itself to all users found in the windows Address Book. Once the system is infected by this virus, the virus copies itself to the Windows directory as "AnnaKournikova.jpg.vbs". You will find it here : C:WINDOWSAnnaKournikova.jpg.vbs


Definition of propagate?

Propagate means to breed.


What does receptors do on a virus?

Receptors on a virus are specialized proteins that allow the virus to attach to and enter host cells. These receptors typically bind to specific molecules on the surface of the host cell, facilitating the virus's entry and subsequent replication within the cell. By exploiting these receptors, viruses can effectively hijack the cellular machinery to propagate and spread infection. Understanding these interactions is crucial for developing antiviral therapies and vaccines.


How does mRNA lead to new viral particles?

mRNA is a "message" that is transcribed into proteins. The proteins form the capsid and other proteins the virus needs. The virus also needs genetic material so it can propagate in other cells. If a virus is a + strand ssRNA (coding strand, analagous to mRNA) just that RNA could lead to a viral infection.

A virus is going to try and slow your computer down and get personal information of the peoples account on the computer with the virus.So they can scam you and use your personal information (Like bank numbers , important messages sent in messages)


What software does not require a user to assist in its propogation?

Standalone software that does not require a user to assist in its propagation is often called a computer virus or just a virus.However, in order for a virus to propagate (transmit a copy of itself) to another computer, there must be something on the second computer that allows the virus to be accepted and to run/execute. It could be a person not aware of the virus that allows it to be accepted. It also could be software on the destination computer that, by design or as a result of faulty programming, intentionally or unintentionally allows the virus program to enter the computer and become active.

What a virus cannot do on its own in computers?

Like a real world virus, computer viruses heavily rely on a "host" file in order to propagate. In the wild, if a computer virus cannot attach and inject itself into a host file, it will just roam around and eventually get destroyed by an antivirus program. Computer viruses cannot replicate without a host. Worms on the other hand are independent programs that can replicate freely without the need of a host like a virus. When it comes to lethality though, a virus is more destructive than a worm.
