Type of virus that begins to multiply immediately after it enters a cell?
A type of virus that begins to multiply immediately after entering a cell is called a lytic virus. These viruses hijack the host cell's machinery to replicate themselves quickly, leading to the destruction of the host cell as new virions are released. This rapid replication cycle is a characteristic feature of lytic viruses.
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 do viruses need to survive and reproduce?
Viruses need a host cell to survive and reproduce. They cannot replicate on their own; instead, they hijack the machinery of host cells to produce more virus particles. Once they have infected a host cell, they use the cell's resources to replicate their genetic material and assemble new virus particles.
Does a virus need a host cell?
Yes, they implant their DNA into a cell. The DNA tells the cell to replicate the virus inside itself. When the cell is full of the virus, it explodes, releasing viruses all around the targeted area.
What type of virus contains reverse transcriptase?
A retrovirus contains reverse transcriptase. This enzyme allows the virus to convert its RNA genome into DNA once inside a host cell, integrating the viral DNA into the host cell's genome for replication. HIV is an example of a retrovirus.
Where does a virus multiplied?
Viruses can only multiply (reproduce) within a host cell. The type of host cell is dependent on the virus' host range.
What is the cell in which a virus reproduces?
This is called a host cell. In the beginning, a virus will attach itself to the host cell and release its genetic material into it. This genetic material interferes with the host cell's enzymes which cause them to form parts in which will create a new virus.
Which type of virus reproduction results in the death of the host cell?
lytic cycle
What type of organism requires a host cell?
Viruses require a host cell to replicate and reproduce. They inject their genetic material into the host cell where it instructs the cell to make new virus particles.

Which type of virus incorporates its genetic material host chromosomes?
lysogenic viruses

How viruses use the cells of living organisms to reproduce. What is the type of cell used by the virus called?
host
What is a reterovirus?
A retrovirus is an RNA virus that is replicated in a host cell via the enzyme reverse transcriptase to produce DNA from its RNA genome. The DNA is then incorporated into the host's genome by an integrase enzyme. The virus thereafter replicates as part of the host cell's DNA. Retroviruses are enveloped viruses that belong to the viral family Retrovirida.
What do viruses need to survive and reproduce?
Viruses need a host cell to survive and reproduce. They cannot replicate on their own; instead, they hijack the machinery of host cells to produce more virus particles. Once they have infected a host cell, they use the cell's resources to replicate their genetic material and assemble new virus particles.
Where must viruses be found if they are to reproduce?
A virus "replicates" [the term often heard in place of "reproduces"] inside a host cell with the process called the Lytic Cycle. The details of the steps of the Lytic Cycle are in the related questions below in the Related Questions section.Basically, once the virus has found a suitable host that is made up of the type of host cells that its virus type uses (i.e., plant, animal ~ including insects to humans, or bacteria), it attaches to the host. Then the virus implants the "key" to its genetic makeup into the cell. When this DNA "key" (or RNA in some viruses) of the virus is inserted into cells of a host, it allows the cells to be hijacked and, at the appropriate time for that particular virus, it instructs the host to make more virus particles. The virus can either lie dormant, such as in some cases of the HIV/AIDS virus, or immediately become active and command the host cell to start the replication processes.If the virus becomes active, it can then turn the host cell into a 'factory' for making more viruses. The result usually, but not always, is that the host becomes ill because the cells are no longer functioning as they should for the host while working on the job of the replication. With each cycle of replication, the virus particles can invade even more and more cells until the host's immune system (or other defense) can catch up to kill the invader.How_do_viruses_reproduce
