How do you describe the reproduction of polio in the body?

Polio virus can infect only human being. Like other viruses, polio virus infect the cells. After getting attached to the cell, the virus genome is inserted into the cell body. The genetic material of the host is broken into small fragments and assembled as per the genome of the polio virus. Multiple such copies are formed and then released in the body to infect the new cells.


What is the function of a virus?

Viruses are malicious software (malware) in which their sole purpose is to replicate and infect non-infected computers. Their are many mediums to which a virus can infect a computer, most commonly through the internet and email attachments. When viruses infect a computer, it attaches itself to a "host" file (hence the name virus because it acts like a real world virus). Next, it injects its code into the host file so that whenever that infected file is run, the virus executes first and then the actual file starts. The "payload" is the official term to the effects a computer virus has on a PC.


How do virus benefit from inserting their genetic material into a host cell?

It all depends on the virus. It may be a lytic or a lysogenic infection. In a lytic infection, the virus inserts its DNA into host cell and replicate itself until the cell bursts and releases the new copies to infect other host cells. In a lysogenic infection, the virus inserts its DNA and gains control over the host cell, shutting it down and makes copies of itself like lytic infection, but the host cell does not burst.


Which structure has the least effect on the ability of a virus to infect and replicate in a host cell?

Ribosome

How does the structure of a virus help it survive?

The capsid of the cell helps the virus to infect host cells as well as multiply quickly.


What might be an effect of a mutation in a virus?

Most of the time, a mutation in a virus results in better ability to infect a host cell and more resistance to the host cell's defenses.


How does a virus destroy a host cell?

It is actually the other way around. A virus destroys a host cell after it has make the replicants of the virus. The cell will split open (lyse) when full of new virions which then get released to infect other cells. Our immune systems can "destroy" a virus in a cell, but the cell itself does not do that. The immune system makes antibodies that fit the virus perfectly to block the way it would have attached to the cell to infect it. The antibody attaches to the virus to prevent its ability to attach to a cell. See the related question below about the lytic cycle for more details about virus "reproduction".


Which stage of bacteriophage replication involves the bursting of the host cell so that the virus particles are free to infect others?

This is the last stage and it is called viral shedding. After a virus has made many copies of itself, it usually has used up the cell resources. The host cell is now no longer useful to the virus and the cell often dies.

How are viruses developed?

When creating a virus, you should think of the following: * What will it exploit? How will the virus enter a computer and not be detected? * How will the virus infect other programs? Is it a non-memory residential virus or a memory-residential virus? * How fast will it infect the host computer? In other words, will the virus spread extremely fast to destroy the computer as soon as possible or will it spread more slowly to make sure it is not detected by antiviruses? * How will the virus conceal itself? Will the virus infect antivirus programs to avoid detection, use polymorphism, or some other stealth function? Asking these questions allows you to have what virus in mind you want to make and lead the way to making the perfect specimen.
