How do viruses affect your DNA?
Viruses can insert their genetic material into a host cell's DNA, causing mutations or alterations in the DNA sequence. This can disrupt normal cellular processes, leading to diseases or potential long-term effects on the host's genetic material.
Can viruses be grown in a lab on synthetic material yes or no?
Nope.Viruses can't reproduce by themselves, they have to inject their DNA into a living cell where it inserts itself into the hosts DNA to be...........................
Are there DNA viruses?
Most viruses have either RNA or DNA bound in a basic membrane. During infection, they will inject this into the host cell so that the host cell can read and use its own mechanisms to replicate the virus.
Can virus get a bacteria?
Yes- Bacterial viruses are called bacteriophages. Some examples are T4 and T7 phages. They are complex DNA viruses that attach themselves to the cell surface and then inject their DNA to the inside of the bacteria. Bacteria have enzymes called restriction enzymes that cleave DNA at specific sites called restriction sites. These enzymes are the bacterium's defense against phages.
What does bacteriophage inject into a cell?
A bacteriophage ("eater of bacteria") inject their DNA (or RNA) into the cell.
Can you kill yourself if you inject yourself with animsal DNA?
well it may develop into cancer if other DNA is mixed into your body's cell. but not inject anyway.
How does viruses classificate?
DNA and RNA viruses.
What word inject DNA or RNA into the nucleus of a cell to reproduce?
DNA or RNA
Why does a virus not have both DNA and RNA?
Because it doesn't use it's DNA or RNA to function, it uses it to inject into a cell and switch the cell's instructions to its own so the cell will make more viruses. Cells have DNA and RNA to tell the cell what to do, but viruses just do it naturally. Viruses have no use for both.
How does a nonliving virus get their food?
Strange as it may seem - viruses don't eat. All they do (and do rather well) is inject their DNA (or RNA) into cells and let the cell do all the other necessities of life for them.
Is there anything that does not contain DNA?
Yes. Anything that isn't an organism will not contain DNA. For example, rocks do not have DNA. Additionally, some viruses have RNA instead of DNA although viruses would be covered by the first category mentioned.
What injects DNA and RNA into nucleus of the cell to reproduce?
Viruses inject their genetic material (DNA or RNA) into the host cell's nucleus in order to replicate. Once inside, the viral genetic material hijacks the cell's machinery to produce more viral particles.
