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 replicate to produce more copies of themselves and spread to new host cells or individuals. This replication process is crucial for the survival and propagation of viruses in their environment.
Inside a host cell.
Viruses
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.
No. Viruses must invade a host cell and hijack its resources to replicate itself.
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 cannot reproduce by themselves. They must infect a host cell and hijack the cellular machinery to replicate. Viruses lack the cellular structures necessary for independent reproduction.
Viruses must infect a host cell in order to replicate. Once inside the host cell, the virus can hijack the cell's machinery to produce new viral particles. Without a host cell, viruses are unable to replicate.
