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.

∙ 14y agoEach time a host cell divides, the virus's genetic material is copied along with the host's genetic material. Then, under certain conditions, the virus's genetics material suddenly becomes active. It takes over the cell's functions in much the same way that active viruses do. Soon, the cell is full of new viruses and bursts open.

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
On bumble beginnings where is the hidden star?
When you get to the first vine near the giant grapes, there is a tree in the background. underneath the tree is the hidden star
Are bacterial viruses with a polyhedral head attached to a helical tail?
bacteriophages
What did mollie have hidden in her stall from animal farm?
she had a rock
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.
Does a hidden viruses enter a cell and immediately begin to multiply?
yes
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
Do viruses multiply by conjugation?
No they actually multiply by taking over a cell's functions.
Can viruses multiply in food?
My professor do mentioned about exceptions of the viruses that can multipled in food, I have not figure out yet
These pathogens cannot reproduce on their own and they must invade other cells to multiply?
Viruses
Do viruses multiply both sexually and asexually?
yup
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.
How are viruses harmful?
They are harmful because it plants inside of you and it quickly multiply inside your stomach making more viruses
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".
Do viruses multiply in foods?
viruses cannot spoil food because they need a host cell(living) to multiply. Food does not provide it a proper ambience or favourable conditions to survive/multiply.(in the atmosphere viruses are said to be dead).
Where do viruses and bacteria that cause meningitis attach and multiply first?
In the nasopharynx
