What are viruses hidden in?
Cells, they reproduce by invading a cell and using its functions to make more viruses, eventually killing a cell. That's why viruses are bad, and that where they "hide".
Are Viruses able to reproduce without using other organisms?
viruses are dormant when they are not inside a living cell. that means they don't have living characteristics when outside a living cell. they only reproduce when they are inside a living cell.
How are some viruses able to rproduce without DNA?
Some viruses, like retroviruses and certain RNA viruses, can reproduce without using DNA by directly utilizing their RNA. Retroviruses, for instance, reverse transcribe their RNA into DNA using the enzyme reverse transcriptase, which then integrates into the host's genome. Other RNA viruses can replicate their RNA genomes directly within the host cell's cytoplasm, hijacking the host's cellular machinery to produce new viral particles. This allows them to bypass the need for DNA in their reproductive cycle.
What are the two methods of viruses replication?
The only way viruses can replicate is by parasitizing living cells and using the cell's mechanisms to replicate their genetic materials and protein components.
How are viruses different from living organisms?
First Answer:Viruses are different from living organisms because:Viruses need host cells to reproduce.The do not perform cellular respiration.Viruses also need no nutrition, minerals or food. They need nothing other than a host.Second Answer:Viruses ARE living organisms.
What is the reproductive organ for gymnosperms?
Gymnosperms reproduce using cones as reproductive structures. Male cones produce pollen, which is carried to female cones by wind or insects for fertilization. The ovules within the female cones then develop into seeds.
How do viruses reproduce compared to bacteria?
Viruses replicate inside body cells, using the host cell to do the work and provide the materials for reproduction. Bacteria reproduce outside body cells and, since, unlike viruses, they are living organisms, bacteria are able to do the work and production of new bacteria without a need for a host.A description of the 'Lytic Cycle', the process that some types of viruses follow in reproduction, is given in the related questions below for more detail of the process of reproduction of some viruses inside body cells.
Do plantae reproduce asexually or sexually?
Plants can reproduce both sexually (through seeds formed by the fusion of male and female reproductive cells) and asexually (via methods like vegetative propagation, fragmentation, or spore formation).
What two types of plats reproduce with spores?
Ferns and mosses are two types of plants that reproduce using spores. Spores are reproductive cells that are capable of developing into new plants under suitable conditions.
What helps a plant to reproduce?
What kind of plant? Most people think of angiosperms when they think of plants, in which case flowers are the reproductive structure. Flowers reproduce by various pollination methods; using insects, birds, bats, and wind to spread pollen.
What kingdom are viruses classified in?
Viruses do not belong to any kingdom. There is an ongoing debate to whether viruses are alive or not. With the facts given, it is up to you to decide if viruses are alive or not. All Living things: -are composed of cells with a complex, organized structure -actively maintain their complex structure and internal environment (homeostasis) -respond to stimuli in their environment -acquire and use materials and energy from their environment and convert them into new forms -reproduce, using the molecular blueprint of DNA -have the capacity to evolve Viruses: -are not made of cells and do not have cells -cannot accomplish the basic tasks of living cells -have no ribosomes to make protein -have no cytoplasm -cannot acquire energy or steal the host's energy -cannot grow or reproduce by themselves or with other viruses -do not respond to stimuli -cannot maintain a stable internal environment -can evolve
Does a virus use sexual reproduction?
Viruses cannot reproduce themselves alone. They inject their DNA into living cells of a host organism. The virus cells use the host cells to develop themselves and leave the cell when ready. Viruses are not living, so they are dependent on a living organism for reproduction.
