I believe it is called the Ly-tic cycle. The virus attaches itself to a cell and injects DNA. The viral DNA enters the Lytic cycle and new viruses are made. The cell then breaks open and viruses are released. I believe AIDS is such a virus.

An infection in which a virus makes copies of itself and causes the cell to burst is called what?

This process is called lysis, where the virus hijacks the host cell's machinery to replicate and then destroys the cell to release new virus particles. This causes the spread of the infection to neighboring cells.

What is the difference between a virus and an infection?

A virus causes an infection. It is the actual file that causes the infection. An infection itself is the action or state of the computer's security being compromised by a virus or other malware.

Type of infection in which a host cell makes copies of the virus indefintely?

The Lysogenic Cycle. The virus' DNA will integrate itself into the host cell's own DNA, such that the cell will continue to make copies of the virus for as long as it survives (and if it passes down its DNA to daughter cells).


What is an infection and what causes it?

An infection can mean different things depending on what you are taliking about. But typically an infection for a wound is caused from bacteria and other contaminates that negativelyaffect the way your body heals itself.


What is it called when DNA copies itself?

Interphase during mitosis if that's what you're asking. As in which stage?


How does the Flesh eating disease affect the cell?

A flesh-eating disease (called necrotizing infection by those fancy scientists) doesn't actually "eat" or kill cells. Instead, the bacteria or any other invader that causes the infection actually releases toxins that block the flow of oxygen and blood to cells, whilst even being toxic sometime to the cells themselves. The combined effort actually causes the cells to die off by itself, not because the infection is doing it by itself. The continued process of the cells dying off leads to the cuts and wounds you see on victims of the infection.


Why is it necessary for a virus to invade a living cell to make copies of itself?

Since viruses are nonliving they have to invade and hijack a living cells DNA to make more copies of itself. If it cannot do this it cannot make more copies of itself.
