Hijacks the cellular machinery and enters a lytic or lysogenic lifecycle.
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 viral genome typically enters a cell during infection, which contains the genetic material needed for viral replication. The protein coat of the virus, known as the capsid, helps deliver the genetic material into the 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.
The virus enters the host cell in the penetration phase.
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.
its genetic material
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.
The viral genome typically enters a cell during infection, which contains the genetic material needed for viral replication. The protein coat of the virus, known as the capsid, helps deliver the genetic material into the host cell.
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!!!
There is no other living thing that requires a virus in order to reproduce.
