What is a living thing that a virus or parasite lives on or in organism with no nucleus?

A virus or parasite that lives within an organism lacking a nucleus could infect a prokaryotic cell, such as a bacterium. In this case, the virus or parasite would utilize the host's cellular machinery to replicate and survive without the presence of a nucleus.


Where does an enveloped virus replicate its DNA?

An enveloped virus typically replicates its DNA inside the host cell's nucleus. After the virus enters the cell, it releases its genetic material, which is then transported to the nucleus where it can utilize the host's machinery for replication and transcription. The newly synthesized viral components are then assembled in the cytoplasm before being released from the cell.


What is a nuclear polyhedral virus?

This virus' image, using an electron microscope, shows an inclusion which appears to be similar to a nucleus. (Viruses have strands of RNA or DNA but no nucleus.) That is where the "nuclear" originates from. Polyhedral means that the virus has many sides. This is one of three shapes that viruses show. It affects the Wattle Bag Worm, the Korean Gypsy Moth, and cabbage leaves.


DNA is found only in the what?

nucleus *DNA is located in the cytoplasm of prokaryotes, they have no nucleus. Also it is found in the capsule of certain virus proteins. It's in the sperm cell which has no nucleus as well.


How long does it take an adenovirus to enter the cell and reach the nucleus?

Adenoviruses typically take about 1 to 2 hours to enter the host cell and transport their genetic material to the nucleus. After attachment to the cell surface, the virus is internalized through endocytosis, followed by uncoating and transport through the cytoplasm. Once inside, the virus hijacks the cell's machinery to initiate replication in the nucleus. The exact timing can vary based on cellular conditions and the specific adenovirus serotype.
