What else can I help you with?
What type of cell are measles?
Measles is a viral infection caused by the measles virus, which primarily infects and replicates in immune cells such as T lymphocytes and macrophages in the respiratory system.
What is an infection in which a virus makes copies of itself and causes the host cell to burst called?
I believe it is called the Ly-tic cycle. The virus attaches itself to a cell and injects DNA. The viral DNA enters the Lytic cycle and new viruses are made. The cell then breaks open and viruses are released. I believe AIDS is such a virus.
Some viruses are only able to infect bacteria What is the name of a bacteria-infecting virus?
bacteriophage, your welcome everyone cheating on Study Island. C:
One step of HIV infection process is the T-cell is turned into a duplication mechanism that continues to make copies of the virus?
In HIV infection, the virus binds to the CD4 receptor on T-cells and enters the cell. Once inside, the virus replicates using the host cell's machinery, turning the T-cell into a factory for producing more viruses. This process eventually leads to the destruction of T-cells and weakening of the immune system.
Lysogenic and lytic viral stages?
Well im just going to type what it says in my bookIn bacterial viruses, the cycle of the viral infection, replication, and destruction is called the lytic cycle.During an infection, some viruses stay inside the cells but do not make new viruses. Instead of producing virus particles, the viral gene is inserted into the host chromosome and is called a provirus. Whenever the cell divides, the provirus also divides, resulting in two infected host cells. In this cycle, called the lysogenic cycle, the viral genome replicates without destorying the host cell. In some lysogenic viruses, change in the environment can causethe provirus to begin the lytic cycle, which means the destruction of the host cell.I hope this helps ^.^ --Pengi-Chan
The process of entrance and growth of a microorganism or virus in the host is called?
The process of entrance and growth of a microorganism or virus in the host is called infection. Infection occurs when the pathogen gains access to the host's tissues, replicates or multiplies within the host, and causes disease symptoms.
What are two ways that viruses cause infections?
The two ways that viruses cause infection are by lytic infection and lysogenic infection. The virus can enter into a cell, make a copy of itself and the cause the cell to burst in a lytic infection. When a virus embeds its DNA into the DNA of a host cell and replicates, it is a lysogenic infection.
As a virus replicates it changes its characteristics?
polymorphic
Where does a virus replicate its DNA?
A virus replicates its DNA in a cell when it infects the host
Which virus characteristic enables a virus to change specific aspects of itself when it replicates?
Polymorphism
What type of cell are measles?
Measles is a viral infection caused by the measles virus, which primarily infects and replicates in immune cells such as T lymphocytes and macrophages in the respiratory system.
Does a persistent viral infection have an acute initial infection phase?
Yes, a persistent viral infection typically begins with an acute initial infection phase. During this phase, the virus replicates rapidly, leading to a strong immune response and symptoms. After this acute phase, the virus can enter a chronic or latent state, allowing it to persist in the host for extended periods, often with minimal or no symptoms.
What is an infection in which a virus makes copies of itself and causes the host cell to burst called?
I believe it is called the Ly-tic cycle. The virus attaches itself to a cell and injects DNA. The viral DNA enters the Lytic cycle and new viruses are made. The cell then breaks open and viruses are released. I believe AIDS is such a virus.

A program that replicates by attaching itself to other programs?
virus
An infection in which a virus makes copies of itself and causes the cell to burst is called what?
This process is called lysis, where the virus hijacks the host cell's machinery to replicate and then destroys the cell to release new virus particles. This causes the spread of the infection to neighboring cells.
Why is a lytic infection given that name?
A lytic infection is named based on the process of viral replication and cell destruction. In a lytic infection, the virus enters a host cell, replicates using the cell's machinery, and then causes the cell to burst (lyse), releasing new virus particles to infect other cells. This process is called lysis, hence the name lytic infection.
