Viruses do not reproduce through mitosis because they are not classified as living cells and lack cellular machinery. Instead, they replicate by hijacking the host cell's machinery, whether that cell is prokaryotic (like bacteria) or eukaryotic (like plant or animal cells). The host cell then produces new viral particles, which can eventually lead to the cell's death or release of the viruses.
What else can I help you with?
What are properties of life shared by prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells but not with viruses?
Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells exhibit key properties of life, including the ability to grow, reproduce, respond to stimuli, and maintain homeostasis. They are composed of cellular structures that facilitate metabolic processes, such as energy production and protein synthesis. In contrast, viruses lack cellular organization, cannot reproduce independently, and do not carry out metabolic processes on their own, relying instead on host cells for replication and activity.
What are two activities that are characteristic of cell but not of viruses?
Cell division and protein synthesis are activities that are characteristic of cells but not viruses. Cells can undergo mitosis or meiosis to reproduce, while viruses rely on host cells to replicate. Cells contain the machinery for protein synthesis, while viruses hijack the host cell's machinery for their own replication.
What statement is true Viruses have organelles. Viruses can reproduce by themselves. Viruses are not living. Viruses produce their own energy?
The true statement is that viruses are not living. Unlike living organisms, viruses lack cellular structures and cannot reproduce or produce energy on their own; they require a host cell to replicate and carry out their functions. Therefore, they do not possess organelles or the ability to reproduce independently.
In witch phase must everything line up before the cell can begin to split apart?
The Metaphase of mitosis in a eukaryotic cell. I don't know for prokaryotic and viruses don't. Also Metaphase in Meiosis 1 and 2.
What is the difference between bacteria and viruses that show bacteria as a living organism but viruses are not?
Bacteria are single-celled, prokaryotic organisms that can reproduce independently and carry out metabolic processes, making them classified as living organisms. They have a cellular structure, can grow and respond to their environment, and can be treated with antibiotics. In contrast, viruses are much smaller and consist of genetic material encased in a protein coat; they cannot reproduce or carry out metabolic functions on their own and require a host cell to replicate, which is why they are considered non-living entities.
Bacteria and viruses do not have a nucleus what helps them reproduce?
Bacteria are prokaryotic type of organisms. They reproduce by binary fission. In place of nucleus, they have a single DNA molecule called nucleoid. Viruses are living only inside a cell. They divide by producing multiple copies of their DNA.
Which organisms do not perform mitosis?
Bacteria, i.e. prokaryotic organisms that lack a cell nucleus. Mitosis occurs only in eurkaryotes.
What are 'prokaryotic organisms' What are some examples?
Bacteria and viruses are examples of prokaryotic organisms.
List prokaryotic cells eukaryotic cells and viruses in order of increasing complexity?
Viruses, prokaryotic cells, eukaryotic cells. Viruses are the simplest, consisting of genetic material surrounded by a protein coat. Prokaryotic cells are more complex, with no membrane-bound organelles and a simpler structure than eukaryotic cells, which are the most complex with membrane-bound organelles and a nucleus.
In which phase must everything line up before the cells can begin to split apart?
The Metaphase of mitosis in a eukaryotic cell. I don't know for prokaryotic and viruses don't. Also Metaphase in Meiosis 1 and 2.
Why are viruses neither prokaryotic or eukaryotic?
Viruses are technically not alive, and so are not classified as cells. Only cells are classified as prokaryotic or eukaryotic. For cells, prokaryotic means it has no nucleus while eukaryotic means it has a nucleus.
What are properties of life shared by prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells but not with viruses?
Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells exhibit key properties of life, including the ability to grow, reproduce, respond to stimuli, and maintain homeostasis.

In contrast, viruses lack cellular organization, cannot reproduce independently, and do not carry out metabolic processes on their own, relying instead on host cells for replication and activity.
What do a virus and a prokaryotic cell have in common?
Assuming you mean prokaryotic cells... Many viruses replicate use DNA or RNA in their genetic structure. Prokaryotic cells replicate by translating their DNA into RNA and then transferring it back into DNA. Many viruses hook into this system and use the prokaryotic replication to make copies of their own DNA or RNA. Otherwise, many viruses replicate within prokaryotic cells in a parasitic relationship, using the genetic material, energy and parts of the cell to replicate their own genetic material and multiply or just to hide until they are ready to replicate.
What are two activities that are characteristic of cell but not of viruses?
Cell division and protein synthesis are activities that are characteristic of cells but not viruses. Cells can undergo mitosis or meiosis to reproduce, while viruses rely on host cells to replicate. Cells contain the machinery for protein synthesis, while viruses hijack the host cell's machinery for their own replication.
Is a virus prokaryote or eukaryote?
Virus is neither prokaryotic nor eukaryotic. Viruses are not alive to begin with and therefore are not classified into a category
What to viruses reproduce?
a host Cell
Do viruses require a host in order to reproduce?
Yes, viruses require a host in order to reproduce. They cannot replicate on their own and rely on infecting a host cell to reproduce and spread.
