Type of virus that begins to multiply immediately after it enters a cell?

A type of virus that begins to multiply immediately after entering a cell is called a lytic virus. These viruses hijack the host cell's machinery to replicate themselves quickly, leading to the destruction of the host cell as new virions are released. This rapid replication cycle is a characteristic feature of lytic viruses.


How does a virus attach to a cell and transfer its genetic material into the cell?

A virus attaches to a host cell by recognizing specific receptors on the cell surface. It then injects its genetic material, either DNA or RNA, into the cell. Once inside, the virus hijacks the cell's machinery to replicate its genetic material and produce more virus particles.


What is a virus that doesn't immediately effect a hosts cell functions?

One example of a virus that doesn't immediately affect a host cell's function is the herpesvirus. After initially infecting cells, herpesvirus can remain dormant in the host's body for years without causing symptoms. It can later reactivate and cause disease.


What is the exit method used by viruses that does not immediately destroy the host cell and results in an enveloped virus?

This method is called a budding off.


The viral reproductive cycle in which a virus infects a cell nakes many copies of itself and destroys the cell is the what?

The viral reproductive cycle you are referring to is called the lytic cycle. In this cycle, a virus infects a host cell, hijacks the cell's machinery to replicate its genetic material and produce new viral particles, and ultimately causes the cell to burst (lyse), releasing the newly formed viruses to infect other cells. This process results in the destruction of the host cell.

How do you describe an active virus?

The virus attaches to the host cell, it takes over the functions of the host cell, and it eventually destroys it. If there was no host cell, the virus would die.


How are the lysogenic and lytic cycles different?

What is caused by the multiplication of a small infectious agent which invades a host cell and then destroys it?

What are Viruses that immediately take over a cell's functions called?

A virus the immediately takes over a cell's functions is an active virus. An active virus causes the host cell to make new viruses, destroying the host cell.


What is active disease?

An "active virus" is when a virus enters a cell and is active, it causes the host cell to make new viruses. This process destroys the host cell. The steps are first, the virus attach's to a host cell. Second, the virus's hereditary material enters the host cell. Third, the virus's hereditary material causes the cell to make viral hereditary material and proteins. Fourth, new viruses from inside the host cell. Fifth, new viruses are released as the host cell bursts open and is destroyed. There are five steps on how a active virus functions inside a cell.


In what cycle of viral replication does the virus destroy the host cell?

During the cycle of viral shedding, the virus has made copies of itself and the host cell is no longer useful. The host cell then dies, and the new virus cells then must find a new host.

What is true about a lysogenic infection?

In a lysogenic infection, the viral DNA integrates into the host cell genome and remains dormant for a period of time. The host cell replicates with the viral DNA as part of its own DNA. Lysogenic infections can later transition into a lytic cycle, where the virus becomes active and replicates to produce new viruses.

What destroys virus particles outside the host?

What is the cell in which a virus reproduces?

This is called a host cell. In the beginning, a virus will attach itself to the host cell and release its genetic material into it. This genetic material interferes with the host cell's enzymes which cause them to form parts in which will create a new virus.
