A virus will replicate in different ways depending on what type of virus it is. There are single- and double-stranded DNA and single- and double-stranded RNA viruses as well as single-stranded RNA in both positive and negative sense, and a couple of others that replicate through intermediaries. Use the link below to the Wikipedia post on how the different viruses replicate. You'll find the article very readable, and it's free.
Viruses have to hijack a host DNA and forces it to produce virus particles not host proteins. These viral particles are assembled by the host cell. When the host cell is full of these particles it bursts open and dies.
What else can I help you with?
All viruses require organic material for growth?
Viruses cannot grow or replicate on their own as they lack the necessary cellular machinery. They require a host cell to replicate and produce more virus particles. Once they infect a host cell, they hijack the cell's machinery to make more copies of themselves.
Why virus is always parasitic?
Viruses are considered parasitic because they require a host cell to replicate and reproduce. They hijack the host cell's machinery to make copies of themselves, which can harm the host cell in the process. This dependence on a host cell for replication is why viruses are often classified as obligate intracellular parasites.
Do viruses reproduce inside host cells causing them to burst?
Yes, viruses can reproduce inside host cells by hijacking the host cell's machinery to make copies of themselves. This can cause the host cell to burst, releasing the newly formed viruses to infect other cells.
Does a virus need food warth and moisture to grow?
No, viruses do not grow in the same way that bacteria or fungi do. They need a host cell to replicate and spread. Once inside a host cell, viruses use the cell's machinery to make copies of themselves.
What do viruses do with their DNA?
Viruses use their DNA or RNA to replicate themselves within a host cell. They hijack the cell's machinery to make copies of their genetic material and produce new virus particles, which can then infect other cells. This leads to the spread of the virus within the host and potentially to other individuals.
What circumstances can viruses reproduce?
Only within a living cell that they can take control of.
All viruses require organic material for growth?
Viruses cannot grow or replicate on their own as they lack the necessary cellular machinery. They require a host cell to replicate and produce more virus particles. Once they infect a host cell, they hijack the cell's machinery to make more copies of themselves.
Can bacteria in beer make you sick?
BACTERIA release harmful toxins. VIRUSES take over your cells completely and make copies of themselves! : )
What can viruses reprouduce?
Viruses don't actually reproduce by themselves. When they enter somebodies body, they take over a cell and sort of hack its system to make the cell produce copies of the virus and not itself. That is why you get sick.
Where does the virus multiply?
Viruses replicate inside the host cells they infect. They hijack the cellular machinery of the host to make copies of themselves, leading to the multiplication of the virus.
Why virus is always parasitic?
Viruses are considered parasitic because they require a host cell to replicate and reproduce. They hijack the host cell's machinery to make copies of themselves, which can harm the host cell in the process. This dependence on a host cell for replication is why viruses are often classified as obligate intracellular parasites.
How do you explain how copies of viruses are produced?
Viruses replicate by hijacking host cells and using their machinery to make copies of themselves. Once inside a host cell, the virus releases its genetic material, which then directs the host cell to produce viral proteins and assemble new viral particles. These new virus particles can then infect other cells and continue the replication cycle.
What do viruses need to reporduce?
Viruses need a host cell to reproduce. Once they have infected a host cell, they use the cell’s machinery to make copies of themselves. This process eventually leads to the host cell bursting open and releasing new viruses to infect other cells.
Do viruses reproduce inside host cells causing them to burst?
Yes, viruses can reproduce inside host cells by hijacking the host cell's machinery to make copies of themselves. This can cause the host cell to burst, releasing the newly formed viruses to infect other cells.

This leads to the spread of the virus within the host and potentially to other individuals.
Do viruses have a metabolism?
''Viruses do not have their own metabolism, and require a host cell to make new products.''
