It injects it's DNA, or in some cases, (Retroviruses) RNA into the host. By doing this, the DNA or RNA either remains latent or merges with the cells DNA, replicates, and eventually destroys the cell. For more information on this process, you might want to look up the Lysogenic Cycle.

What is bacteriaophage?
A bacteriophage is a virus that infects and replicates within bacteria. It can inject its genetic material into a bacterial cell, taking over the cell's machinery to make more copies of itself, eventually leading to the death of the bacterial cell. Bacteriophages are being researched for their potential use in treating bacterial infections, particularly in the era of antibiotic resistance.
What are the four steps an active virus takes to reproduce itself in a bacterial cell?
Attachment: The virus attaches to the surface of the bacterial cell. Entry: The virus injects its genetic material into the bacterial cell. Replication: The viral genetic material replicates using the host's cellular machinery. Release: The newly formed virus particles are released from the bacterial cell to infect other cells.
Which is a type of Virus out of Bacteria Capsid Bateriophage and Pilus?
Bacteriophage is a type of virus that infects bacteria. It uses its protein capsid to inject its genetic material into a bacterial cell and replicate. Pilus is a structure found on bacteria that can be used for conjugation, the transfer of genetic material between bacterial cells.
How are the steps in the infection of an animal cell by a virus different from the infection of a bacterial cell by a virus?
Infection of an animal cell by a virus typically involves the virus attaching to specific receptors on the cell surface, entering the cell through endocytosis or direct fusion, replicating using host cell machinery, and then releasing new viruses by budding or cell lysis. In contrast, infection of a bacterial cell by a virus (called a bacteriophage) usually involves the phage injecting its genetic material into the bacterium, hijacking the bacterial machinery to replicate, and then causing lysis of the bacterial cell to release new phages.
How do viruses get into bacterial cell?
A virus has proteins on its capsid that bind to living host cell. Once the virus has attached it enters the cell or inserts DNA/RNA into the cell.

What is a virus called that invades bacteria?
A virus that infects bacteria is called a bacteriophage. Bacteriophages are specific to infecting bacterial cells and can inject their genetic material into the host bacterium, leading to replication and eventual destruction of the bacterial cell.

What method might a virus use to inject itself?
A virus can inject itself into a host cell by exploiting cell receptor proteins or by fusion with the cell membrane. Once inside, the virus releases its genetic material to hijack the host cell's machinery for replication and produce more viruses.

What does virus do once they are inside your body?
a virus will attach itself to a healthy cell and inject some bad stuff in to it and make it one of a bad cell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How do viruses get into bacterial cell?
A virus has proteins on its capsid that bind to living host cell. Once the virus has attached it enters the cell or inserts DNA/RNA into the cell.
Can a virus be treated with antibiotic's?
NO!, because the virus is inside the cell and antibiotics only work on bacterial infections.
What enzyme does Bacteriophages use to breach bacterial cell wall?
Bacteriophages use lysozyme, an enzyme that degrades peptidoglycan in the bacterial cell wall, to breach the bacterial cell wall and gain entry into the host cell. This allows the phage to inject its genetic material into the bacterium and replicate.
What cell comes in a fundamental living matter and come in two forms?
DNA is the fundamental living matter. A virus, considered to be a living matter consists of core of DNA. When this virus invades a Bacterial cell, it forms the Bacteriophase.DNA is the fundamental living matter. A virus, considered to be a living matter consists of core of DNA. When this virus invades a Bacterial cell, it forms the Bacteriophase.
What is T in T4 bacteriophage?
T refers to the tail protein found in the T4 bacteriophage, a type of virus that specifically infects bacterial cells. The tail protein helps the virus attach to the bacterial host cell and inject its genetic material for replication.
