Viruses need a living host for reproduction. They, themselves, are not alive, so they must have a living host to provide the material to use for building duplicates, as well as for the energy to use in the production.
Viral Replication is a process that a virus reproduces itself in the body. The study of viral replication helps scientists understand diseases and allows them to work on ways to cure them.
Yes
The process in which a virus multiplies itself within a host cell is called replication. During replication, the virus uses the host cell's machinery to create copies of its own genetic material and proteins, eventually leading to the production of new virus particles that can infect other cells.
Antiviral medications such as remdesivir and favipiravir are used to slow down the replication process of the virus by targeting specific steps in the reproduction cycle of the virus. These drugs help decrease the viral load in the body and can potentially shorten the duration and severity of the illness.
A virus carries out the function of replication, by hijacking the host cell's machinery to make copies of itself.
Virus lack metabolic pathways or any other life activity. This is the reason virus is known as particles and not as life form. they require their host for the replication and dependent of host machinery.
No, replication does not require oxygen. Replication is the process of copying DNA or RNA, which can occur in the absence of oxygen. Oxygen is not directly involved in the process of DNA replication itself.
Permissive cells are capable of supporting the replication of a virus, whereas non-permissive cells are unable to support virus replication. In permissive cells, the virus can enter, replicate, and exit to infect other cells. Non-permissive cells may lack the necessary factors or receptors for the virus to complete its replication cycle.
It prevents the replication of viral infections, this then stops the virus from spreading further into our system.
temperate viruses
Retro virus has reverse transcription in its replication cycle. In other words, rna is template for synthesis of dna. With dna virus, there is no reverse transcription in the replication cycle. Dna is the template for dna synthesis.
Virus reproduces inside a living host by replication during lytic and lysogenic cycle .
Some of them can. It depends on the virus and the replication method.
lytic
Because retro virus has only RNA as genetic material. Its replication is in reversal order known as Reverse Transcriptase.
