a host cell
Viruses cannot reproduce on their own. They must invade and infect other cells in order to be able to reproduce.
Viruses require a living organism to do anything - most especially to reproduce.
One of the characteristics is they contain genetic material (DNA), which is a characteristic that all living things must have in order to be considered living. And also when inside a host, they are able to reproduce, which all living things must be able to do.
Viruses require living cells to replicate and grow. Milk does not contain living cells, so viruses cannot infect or reproduce in milk. Additionally, milk has natural defense mechanisms, such as enzymes and antibodies, that can inhibit the growth of viruses.
Viruses are non-living entities that require a host cell to replicate. They contain genetic material (either DNA or RNA) surrounded by a protein coat. Viruses can cause a wide range of diseases in various organisms.
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.
They both require a host cell to reproduce and they are both types of viruses

Bacteria are able to reproduce on their own while viruses need a host to "hijack" so they can reproduce. Bacteria have metabolisms, catabolic and anabolic biochemical reactions going on in their cells all the time. Viruses do not. Bacteria can grow in size to a certain extent while viruses do not change in this regard. The definition of living things classify bacteria as a living thing, while viruses are not.
Only within a living cell that they can take control of.
they reproduce independentlyThis is a false statement as viruses need a host cell and it's replicative machinery to reproduce their genetic material.
One of the characteristics is they contain genetic material (DNA), which is a characteristic that all living things must have in order to be considered living. And also when inside a host, they are able to reproduce, which all living things must be able to do.
a host cell
viruses are dormant when they are not inside a living cell. that means they don't have living characteristics when outside a living cell. they only reproduce when they are inside a living cell.
Bacteria are able to reproduce on their own while viruses need a host to.
