RNA or DNA depending on the type of virus.
When a virus enters a cell, it injects its genetic material into the cell. The virus then hijacks the cell’s machinery to replicate itself, producing more virus particles. This process can ultimately lead to cell death and the spread of the virus to other cells in the body.
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.
A virus outside a host cell is generally referred to as a virion. This is the inactive form of the virus that is unable to replicate until it enters a suitable host cell.
A dormant virus is a type of virus that enters the cell and remains inactive for a period of time before starting to replicate and cause symptoms. During this dormant phase, the virus may integrate its genetic material into the host cell's genome or remain in a latent state until conditions are favorable for replication.
A host cell for a virus is a cell that the virus can infect and hijack to replicate itself. The virus enters the host cell, takes over its machinery to produce more virus particles, and then spreads to infect other cells.
its genetic material
The virus enters the host cell in the penetration phase.
When a virus enters a cell, it injects its genetic material into the cell. The virus then hijacks the cell’s machinery to replicate itself, producing more virus particles. This process can ultimately lead to cell death and the spread of the virus to other cells in the body.
Once the virus enters the cell, unless it is deformed in some way, it will have success.
A Latent Virus
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.
A virus outside a host cell is generally referred to as a virion. This is the inactive form of the virus that is unable to replicate until it enters a suitable host cell.
The virus enters the host cell and uses the cell's machinery to replicate itself.
When you say "quest" did you mean the virus' goal? If this is the case, one needs to understand that a virus is actually not a cell but rather a fragment that carries either DNA or RNA strands. These strands are often protected in a viral envelope or capsule. Once the virus enters a target cell, it releases these DNA or RNA strands into the cell's nucleus. This is taken up by the host cell creating various changes in the host cell's genetic makeup.
ex. a virus enters a cell, replicates, and then "lyses" (ruptures) the cell. those virus particles are now free to infect other cells.
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.
First the virus enters the host cell, then the virus' hereditary material come, then the host cells hereditary material becomes viral, then the host cell expands, and then it POPS!!!
