Can some viruses remain dormant in the body for many year?
Yes, some viruses can remain dormant in the body for many years. For example, the herpes simplex virus can establish latency in nerve cells, becoming inactive and causing no symptoms until it reactivates later. Similarly, the varicella-zoster virus, which causes chickenpox, can lie dormant in the nervous system and later cause shingles. This ability to remain dormant can complicate treatment and contribute to recurrent infections.
What type of virus enters the cell and doesn't immediately attack?
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.
What are pro viruses?
A pro virus is a a complete viral genome which is incorporated in a host's genome. It is dormant while incorporated and therefore passed on to that cell's "offspring" and is waiting to be expressed at a later time.
What is included in a lysogenic cycle?
something that has to do with viruses something that has to do with viruses correct : it is the cycle where a virus lays dormant inside the host cell until it is triggered to become active and then go into the lytic cycle.
Why are viruses classified as non living particles?
They do not reproduce asexually or sexually. Viruses need a host like a cell in order to reproduce. In the dormant state, they are virions, and considered to be nonliving. However, in their active state, as viruses, they are considered to be living organisms.
Unlike lytic viruses lysogenic viruses do what?
Lysogenic viruses integrate their genetic material into the host's DNA and replicate along with the host cell without causing immediate harm. This integration allows the virus to remain dormant and potentially reactivate later to undergo a lytic cycle.
What are two ways viruses reproduce?
Viruses can reproduce by either the lytic cycle, which involves the virus taking over the host cell to replicate itself and destroy the cell in the process, or through the lysogenic cycle, where the viral DNA is integrated into the host cell's DNA and can remain dormant until triggered to replicate.

lysogenic viruses

What effect will a virus in the lytic cycle have on an oranism?
The Norwalk virus (Norovirus) does not have a lyosgenic cycle. It does not remain dormant as lysogenic viruses can.

Are Viruses able to reproduce without using other organisms?
viruses are dormant when they are not inside a living cell. that means they don't have living characteristics when outside a living cell. they only reproduce when they are inside a living cell.
What is produced by cells infected with viruses?
More viruses. Cells infected with virus DNA are essentially converted into virus factories. Instead of producing the materials the cell needs to reproduce, it produces dormant viruses, until the cell bursts and the new viruses begin infecting other cells.
Do you have dormant cancer cells in your body?
One could argue that all body cells can potentially become cancerous and therefore they are all dormant cancer cells. But by that definition, a dormant cancer cell is just a normal, healthy cell.
Does the Norwalk virus have a Lytic or Lysogenic cycle?
The Norwalk virus (Norovirus) does not have a lyosgenic cycle. It does not remain dormant as lysogenic viruses can. It is lytic and is considered virulent as many lytic viruses are. Most bacteriophages are lysogenic. See link below:
