What else can I help you with?
What virus hereditary material becomes part of the cells hereditary material?
A retrovirus is a type of virus whose genetic material can be integrated into the host cell's DNA, making it become part of the cell's hereditary material. Examples include HIV and some types of leukemia-causing viruses.
Is a cell a complete organism?
There are unicellular organisms - that is a single cell that is an organism. However, for multicellular organisms, such as animals - a cell is only a small part of the whole organism.
What advantage does a virus have when invading an organism if it incorporates part of a host cell membrane into its envelope?
By incorporating part of a host cell membrane into its envelope, a virus can disguise itself and evade detection by the host's immune system. This camouflage allows the virus to enter host cells more easily without triggering an immune response, increasing its chances of successful infection.
How does a latent virus reproduce?
A latent virus remains dormant in the host cell without actively reproducing. When triggered by certain factors, such as stress or a weakened immune system, the virus can reactivate and begin replicating in the host cell to produce new viral particles.
What is the smallest part of the body that is alive?
The cell, is the smallest part of the body that is said to be alive.
What virus enters a cell and becomes part of the cells DNA without destroying the cell or replicating itself?
A Latent Virus
What is the part of a virus that attaches to the host cell?
envelop
What component of a virus is injected into the infected cell?
The components of a virus that is injected into the infected cell is either the RNA or DNA. A virus is composed of two parts a nucleic acid part and a protein part.
What part of virus allows it to attach to a cell?
The proteins in the capsid allow the virus to attach to the "docking stations" proteins of the host cell.
What is a latent virus?
Latent Viruses: some viruses can be latent. That means that after the virus enters a cell, its hereditary material can become part of the cell's hereditary material.
What virus hereditary material becomes part of the cells hereditary material?
A retrovirus is a type of virus whose genetic material can be integrated into the host cell's DNA, making it become part of the cell's hereditary material. Examples include HIV and some types of leukemia-causing viruses.

Microscopic particle that invades a cell and destroys it?
A virus is a microscopic particle that invades a cell, takes over its machinery to replicate, and ultimately destroys the cell as part of its life cycle.
In a cell what part is a strand of hereditary material surounded by a protein coating?
A Virus
What are the spikes and there function in a virus?
Spikes are proteins that are part of the viral capsid/envelope (depending on if the virus is a naked virus or not). It helps with attachment to the host cell. They are derived from their host cell's own proteins (but are not the same as their hosts), and can help in evading the host cell's defenses.
Which virus enters a cell and the virus's genetic material becomes part of the cell?
This is something all viruses do in effect when they attack a cell and make the cell start producing new viruses as a part of their reproductive process. See the related question below about the Lytic Cycle which describes the steps in that process.
What advantage does a virus have when invading an organism if it incorporates part of a host cell membrane into its envelope?
By incorporating part of a host cell membrane into its envelope, a virus can disguise itself and evade detection by the host's immune system. This camouflage allows the virus to enter host cells more easily without triggering an immune response, increasing its chances of successful infection.
