an active virus enters a cell and is active it causes the host cell to make new viruses, which destroy the host cell. a latent viruses is some viruses may be latent viruses. a latent virus enters a cell and its hereditary material may become part of the cell's hereditary materials.
hidden viruses take their time and wait until they make the host cell produce more of the virus..
kind of like a ninja, waiting to spring at any moment.
The genes of a hidden virus remain in your cells forever. You can never get rid of them and they can become active at any time.
An active virus makes you sick right away (like a cold), but after your body has cleared it out it is gone for good and it can never make you sick again.
The " hidden " virus is called a provirus and it insets it's genetic material into the genome of the invaded cell so that the cell copies itself many times and copies the virus also. An active virus just invades and hijacks the cell immediately to reproduce the virus. The " hidden " type of virus does come out after a time and acts like a active virus then Google lytic cycle and lysoginy.
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".
Well think of latent viruses as viruses that are sleepy and don't do much to your body, active viruses are well basically active viruses.
A hidden virus becomes active when like say if you get sick the virus would become active then because it has a greater chance of tearing down your system .
Type your answerthey are both viruses
a latent virus and active virus
A hidden virus is known in the words in its name "HIDDEN virus". It hides and stays inactive. The active virus is also known in its name too "ACTIVE virus". The two viruses have different ways on spreading it own kind throughout the host or hosts.
The cold virus is known to be hidden. This is hidden because a virus like this can hide in your body until whenever you start to become sick with this. * I learned about this in Science like a month ago, (: Justsaying. But it is HIDDEN; NOT active, (: wait wait wait how is it hidden if we get it slowly (the cold). and why is it hidden when both ways you'll still get sick. almost all my teachers say its active but in my life science book it states its hidden. whos right whos wrong arggg :( i really need a correct answer :)
They are not active and do not make new viruses.
Because it spreads more quickly than a hidden virusBecause the influenza viruses begin affecting you as soon as you are infected and start reproducing as soon as they are in the target cells of your respiratory system. Active viruses do not invade and then remain dormant to produce new symptoms in the future (sometimes the distant future).
Active (non-killed) viruses are living organisms.
when a virus enters a cell and is active, it cause the host cell to make new viruses, which destroy the host cell.
it's active
Active viruses are causing a disease at this time. Some can become dormant for a time and can be reactivated. Examples are cold sores and shingles.
Active Viruses
There are no active viruses that affect Mac OS X.
They are active only when they are inside a living host cell.
When it is inside a living cell.
