1. A virus attaches to a bacterium.

2. The virus injects its genetic material.

3. The genetic material of the virus combines with the bacterium's genetic material.

4. The virus's genetic material detaches from the bacterium's genetic material and the bacterium produces the virus's proteins and genetic material.

5. New viruses assemble.

6. The bacterium bursts open, releasing new viruses.

Cultivation of viruses in embryonated egg culture?

In clinical virology the use of embryonated eggs are frequently used because viruses need something living for the viruses characteristics to come out. It is frowned upon to use monkey and rats for this during school so embryonated eggs are the next best things.


Viruses need water to survive?

they move from person to person and regenerate... some feed on your red blood cells, while others infuse themselves into your dna so white blood cells cant fight them. they then replicate themselves. the only way to kill a virus is to isolate all who have it, which is impossible in the case of certain ones... like the flu. everyone has it at sometime


What are the kingdoms of corona viruses and rhino viruses?

Coronaviruses and rhinoviruses belong to different families within the realm of viruses. Coronaviruses are classified under the family Coronaviridae and are known for their crown-like appearance due to spike proteins on their surface. Rhinoviruses, on the other hand, belong to the family Picornaviridae and are primarily responsible for the common cold. Both types of viruses are RNA viruses, but they differ significantly in their structure, transmission, and the diseases they cause.

Are bacterial viruses with a polyhedral head attached to a helical tail?

No, bacterial viruses with a polyhedral head typically have a tail associated with the head structure. These viruses are known as bacteriophages. The tail plays a critical role in attaching to the host bacteria and injecting the viral genetic material into the bacterial cell for replication.

Do Most DNA viruses multiply in the host cell's cell membrane?

No, DNA viruses multiply in the host cell's nucleus, while most RNA viruses multiply in the host cell's cytoplasm


What are types of hidden and active viruses?

Hidden viruses include rootkits, bootkits, and stealth viruses that hide their presence on a system to evade detection. Active viruses include file infectors, macro viruses, and polymorphic viruses that infect files or use different code patterns to avoid detection.

What are viruses hidden in?

Cells, they reproduce by invading a cell and using its functions to make more viruses, eventually killing a cell. That's why viruses are bad, and that where they "hide".


Can computer viruses be hidden in files?

Yes, but you need to jack the password.


Do Active viruses enter a cell and immediatley begin to multiply?

The easiest way to understand how viruses replicate is to study the life cycles of viruses called bacteriophages (bacteria eaters). Bacteriophages replicate by either a lytic cycle or a lysogenic cycle. The difference in these two cycles is that the cell dies at the end of the lytic cycle or the cell remains in the lysogenic cycle. The virus remains "hidden".


How do viruses stay hidden?

Viruses can stay hidden by mutating frequently to avoid detection by the immune system. Some viruses can also enter a dormant state within host cells, making them hard to detect and target for treatment. Additionally, viruses can evade the immune response by altering their surface proteins to avoid recognition by antibodies.


Why are viruses considered?

they are able to multiply, which could be seen as a form of reproduction
