Does a virus use sexual reproduction?

Answer 1

Viruses cannot reproduce themselves alone. They inject their DNA into living cells of a host organism. The virus cells use the host cells to develop themselves and leave the cell when ready. Viruses are not living, so they are dependent on a living organism for reproduction.

Answer 2

No, viruses do not reproduce using sexual reproduction. They typically replicate by hijacking the host cell's machinery to produce copies of themselves through a process called lytic cycle or lysogenic cycle. These cycles involve injecting their genetic material into the host cell and taking over its functions to replicate.

Answer 3

Viruses inject their genetic material into a cell and use the cell's organelles to reproduce, but the can't reproduce on their own
