A virus is technically non living and cannot reproduce by itself. In order for a virus to reproduce, the virus attaches itself to a host cell and literally injects its own viral material into the cell. The virus then reproduces in the host cell and eventually breaks free and thus more viruses are made.
What else can I help you with?
What do viruses do with their DNA?
Viruses use their DNA or RNA to replicate themselves within a host cell. They hijack the cell's machinery to make copies of their genetic material and produce new virus particles, which can then infect other cells. This leads to the spread of the virus within the host and potentially to other individuals.
What action do viruses take when they enter the body' cell?
Viruses enter the body's cell and hijack the cell's machinery to replicate themselves. They use the cell's resources to make copies of their own genetic material and viral proteins, eventually leading to the destruction of the host cell as new viruses are released.
Why is it important for the chomosome to make copies of themselves BEFORE mitosis occurs?
It is important for chromosomes to make copies of themselves before mitosis to ensure that each daughter cell receives a complete set of genetic information. The copied chromosomes, known as sister chromatids, are then separated during mitosis to ensure equal distribution of genetic material to the two daughter cells. This process helps maintain genetic stability and prevents loss of important genetic information.
Drawings can be arranged to show how one cell can make copies of itself what is the process called?
The process of arranging drawings to show how one cell can make copies of itself is called cell division. This process involves a cell replicating its genetic material and then splitting into two daughter cells, each with a complete set of genetic information.
Viruses cannot do what?
They can not reproduce without a host as reproductive vector. They have no metabolism and do not preform cellular functions. Viruses are genetic material enclosed in a protein capsid.
What virus uses reverse transcription to pass its genetic information to the next generation of viruses?
The HIV virus is the one which uses the reverse transcription to make copies of itself. It gives out genetic information that helps it quickly multiply once it is in a host body.
What do viruses have to rely on for replication?
They rely on their host. They can not reproduce on their own, so they are not considered living. They inject genetic information into a host cell and make the cell produce more viruses.
How do you explain how copies of viruses are produced?
Viruses replicate by hijacking host cells and using their machinery to make copies of themselves. Once inside a host cell, the virus releases its genetic material, which then directs the host cell to produce viral proteins and assemble new viral particles. These new virus particles can then infect other cells and continue the replication cycle.
What do viruses do with their DNA?
Viruses use their DNA or RNA to replicate themselves within a host cell. They hijack the cell's machinery to make copies of their genetic material and produce new virus particles, which can then infect other cells. This leads to the spread of the virus within the host and potentially to other individuals.
How does cloning occur in viruses?
Viruses can clone themselves by hijacking a host cell's machinery to replicate their genetic material and assemble new viral particles. This process typically involves the virus releasing its genetic material into the host cell, which then uses its own resources to make copies of the virus. The newly replicated viruses can then go on to infect other cells and continue the cycle of infection and replication.
How does the virus make copies of itself?
Viruses make copies of themselves by hijacking host cells and using the cell's machinery to replicate their genetic material. The virus enters the host cell, releases its genetic material, and tricks the cell into making viral proteins and new viral particles. These new viral particles then go on to infect other cells and continue the cycle of replication.
Is a viral species a group of viruses that have the same genetic information and ecological niche?
no, very similar genetic information. as you and i dont have the same genetic information do we? same ecological niche? well sorta, i wouldnt call it an ecological niche, the factors that make the niche such as temperature, humidity, host range would be the same.
Do all viruses posses a genome?
Viruses carry genetic material that they insert into our cells to make our cells stop doing what they normally do and start reproducing viruses, the genetic material is encoded with the information needed to reproduce that specific virus exactly.
Why is it necessary for a virus to invade a living cell to make copies of itself?
Since viruses are nonliving they have to invade and hijack a living cells DNA to make more copies of itself. If it cannot do this it cannot make more copies of itself.
What action do viruses take when they enter the body' cell?
Viruses enter the body's cell and hijack the cell's machinery to replicate themselves. They use the cell's resources to make copies of their own genetic material and viral proteins, eventually leading to the destruction of the host cell as new viruses are released.

Before DNA could definitively be shown to be the genetic material in cells scientist had to show that it could?
b. it could carry and make copies of information
