The Lysogenic Cycle. The virus' DNA will integrate itself into the host cell's own DNA, such that the cell will continue to make copies of the virus for as long as it survives (and if it passes down its DNA to daughter cells).

How do virus benefit from inserting their genetic material into a host cell?

It all depends on the virus. It may be a lytic or a lysogenic infection. In a lytic infection, the virus inserts its DNA into host cell and replicate itself until the cell bursts and releases the new copies to infect other host cells. In a lysogenic infection, the virus inserts its DNA and gains control over the host cell, shutting it down and makes copies of itself like lytic infection, but the host cell does not burst.


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.


What makes copies of viral DNA?

During the process of viral replication, the virus uses host cells to produce copies of its viral DNA. This process typically involves the virus injecting its genetic material into the host cell's nucleus, where it hijacks the cell's machinery to replicate its DNA. This results in the production of multiple copies of the viral DNA, which can then be packaged into new viral particles.


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.

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.

What do you call a cell that has been infected with a virus?

It is called a host cell. The virus attaches to the cell and injects its DNA into the cell. The virus's DNA overruns the "instructions" that the cell has and "tells" the cell to make copies of the virus using the DNA. Then the cell makes so many copies of the virus, that it explodes. The new viruses then go on to attach to other cells.


What small DNA strand makes a copy of itself?

A virus is a small strand of DNA or RNA that copies itself.

What latent virus does when enters a cell?

First the virus goes into the cell. When its in the cell it "hides" and the cell makes a copy. Once it makes a copy the latent virus reveal themselves and then there are latent viruses in the first cell and the duplicated one. After that it copies it self in each cell and then releases.


What is the difference between a virus and an infection?

A virus causes an infection. It is the actual file that causes the infection. An infection itself is the action or state of the computer's security being compromised by a virus or other malware.

What is a computer virus pattern?

In computer security terminology, a virus is a piece of program code that, like a biological virus, makes copies of itself and spreads by attaching itself to a host, often damaging the host in the process. A pattern is a virus that would happen over and over.
