Nothing reproduces inside a virus. It has to latch on the a host cell and insert its' DNA or RNA and then make the host cell reproduce virus particles.

What organism that can reproduce only inside a host cell?

A virus is an organism that can reproduce only inside a host cell. They hijack the cellular machinery of the host cell to replicate their genetic material and produce new virus particles.

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 is this - they can only reproduce inside the cells of other organisms?

This describes a virus. Viruses are unique microorganisms that cannot reproduce on their own; they require a host cell to replicate. Once inside a host cell, they hijack the cell's machinery to produce new virus particles. This dependence on host cells distinguishes viruses from other types of organisms, such as bacteria, which can reproduce independently.


Which microbes have to be in cells to reproduce?

Viruses must be inside cells in order to replicate. They don't really reproduce in the biological sense. Their DNA or RNA takes over a living cell and causes it to make and assemble virus parts. Eventually the cell will burst, releasing the newly replicated viruses.


Can a virus can only reproduce by controlling a cell?

Yes, that's the ony way


Does a virus need a crystal or a host to reproduce?

A virus does not need a crystal to reproduce, as they are not living organisms and do not have cellular machinery to perform reproduction. However, a virus does need a host cell to replicate and produce new virus particles.


A virus needs a _____________ to reproduce?

There is no other living thing that requires a virus in order to reproduce.


Does virus reproduce artificially?

Viruses must be produced in a host cell. They can be produced in vitro (in glass) if there are host cells in there first.
