It depends on the nature of its genome
a sphere, spiral and a rod
You can replicate it.
Synonyms for the word "replicate" include, but are not limited to, mirror, simulate, reflect, repeat, clone, depict, reproduce, duplicate, recreate and copy.
Viruses have four main shapes: 1. spherical (like a ball) 2. helical (like a corkscrew or a spring) 3. Icosahedron (a twenty-sided shape kind of like two prisms glued together) 4. Bacteriophage (an icosahedron head and a spider-like tail)
about 500,000 viruses
The main difference is that viruses rely on a host cell's machinery to replicate their genetic material, while cells have their own machinery to replicate their DNA. Viruses insert their genetic material into a host cell and hijack its replication machinery, whereas cells replicate their DNA through processes like DNA polymerase and cellular organelles.
viruses replicate inside respiratory cells.
The only way viruses can replicate is by parasitizing living cells and using the cell's mechanisms to replicate their genetic materials and protein components.
Viruses are intracellular because they need to hijack the cellular machinery of a host cell in order to replicate and produce more virus particles. They cannot replicate on their own and rely on host cells to multiply. Once inside a cell, a virus releases its genetic material and uses the host cell's resources to replicate.
Inside a host cell.
Viruses
New viruses are released after the lytic cycle. ~Gradpoint/Novanet
Two types of viruses are DNA viruses, which have genetic material made of DNA, and RNA viruses, which have genetic material made of RNA. DNA viruses typically replicate in the host cell's nucleus, while RNA viruses typically replicate in the host cell's cytoplasm.
A worm is a program designed to replicate.
Viruses are difficult to cure because they invade host cells to replicate, making it challenging to target them without harming the host cells. Additionally, viruses can mutate quickly, leading to the development of resistance against treatments. This complexity makes it challenging to develop a universal cure for all viruses.
Viruses are the smallest of the three main types of microbes, which also include bacteria and fungi. Viruses are much smaller than bacteria and fungi and are considered acellular, as they cannot survive or replicate without a host cell.
No. Viruses must invade a host cell and hijack its resources to replicate itself.
