Does the host cell usually benefit from having a virus?
The host cell does not benefit from having a virus. The virus usually kills it.
Why would it not be advantageous for a virus to kill its host?
It would not be advantageous for a virus to kill its host because if the host dies, the virus would also die since it needs the host to replicate and spread. It is more beneficial for a virus to keep the host alive so it can continue to infect other individuals.
What is a virus called outside a host cell?
A virus outside a host cell is generally referred to as a virion. This is the inactive form of the virus that is unable to replicate until it enters a suitable host cell.
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.
What is a host cell for a virus?
A host cell for a virus is a cell that the virus can infect and hijack to replicate itself. The virus enters the host cell, takes over its machinery to produce more virus particles, and then spreads to infect other cells.
Does the host cell usually benefit from having a virus?
The host cell does not benefit from having a virus. The virus usually kills it.

How does a lytic virus kill a host cell?
A lytic virus kills a host cell by replicating inside the cell, causing it to burst, releasing new virus particles that can infect other cells. This process usually leads to the death of the host cell.
What do you call that a virus invades?
A virus which invades a cell can be said to be virulent. One that causes the host cell to immediately produce virus' particles and lose it's ability to live is said to be a lytic virus. A virus that remains "silent" for awhile is called a lysogenic virus.
What type of virus kills batcteria?
The type of virus that kills bacteria is the bacteriophage.
What is the difference between lytice cycle and lysogenic cycle?
The lysogenic cycle incorporates its DNA into the cells DNA, lets the cell resume normal growth by reproduction, so that all the cells have viral DNA and lyse to produce more viruses than ever. The lyctic cycle merely infects and lyses one cell at a time.
In what cycle of the viral replication does the virus the host cell?
During the cycle of viral shedding, the virus has made copies of itself and the host cell is no longer useful. The host cell then dies, and the new virus cells then must find a new host.
What affect will a virus in the lytic cycle have on an organism?
It kills the host bacteria. I don't believe it occurs in eukaryotic cells.
Can a virus have a host?
Viruses do not cause diseases in the host. Why? Well, the host is already causing the virus so it is IMPOSSIBLE for another virus to be cause in the host.
What is the first event that occurred when a virus infects the host cell?
The virus attaches to the host cells membrane.
What is the legacy virus from x-men?
The Legacy Virus is a virus that kills mutants.
The cell infected by a virus is referred to as the?
The cell infected by a virus is referred to as the host cell. The virus hijacks the host cell's machinery to replicate and produce more virus particles.
