How does the virus Ebola multiply?

Yes. Like all viruses, it goes inside a host cell and replicates itself.


Where does a virus replicate its DNA?

A virus replicates its DNA in a cell when it infects the host


What happens to a cell's DNA prior to cell division?

It replicates.


Where does a virus replicate itself?

Viruses do not reproduce since they are not alive but they hijack the host's DNA to make more viruses.


What organism replicates by taking over the genetic material of a host cell?

A virus.


What are the six steps of a virus?

Attachment: Virus attaches to host cell. Penetration: Virus injects its genetic material into host cell. Replication: Virus genetic material replicates inside host cell. Assembly: New viral particles are assembled. Release: Newly formed viruses are released from host cell. Infection: Newly released viruses can infect other cells.


Where does a virus form?

A virus forms when its genetic material (RNA or DNA) replicates inside the host cell, using the host cell's machinery to create new virus particles. These new virus particles then exit the host cell to infect other cells and continue the infection cycle.


What is lytic reproduction?

ex. a virus enters a cell, replicates, and then "lyses" (ruptures) the cell. those virus particles are now free to infect other cells.


How does a virus affect cell functions?

DNA, then RNA - it replicates itself and spreads. In doing so, breaks cell walls.


Cell in which a virus multiplies it self?

A virus multiplies itself in a host cell by using the cell's machinery to replicate its own genetic material and produce new viral particles. The virus takes over the host cell's resources to create copies of itself, eventually causing the host cell to burst and release the newly formed viruses to infect other cells.


What is the best definition of a virus?

A virus is a small infectious agent that replicates only inside the living cells of other organisms. It can cause a variety of diseases in humans, animals, and plants by hijacking the host cell's machinery to make copies of itself.


What happens to DNA during cell division?

It replicates to the new cell being created. An exact clone of the original cell.
