Can non-living things reproduce?
No, non-living things do not have the ability to reproduce. Reproduction is a biological process that involves the creation of new individuals from existing ones, and non-living things lack the necessary biological mechanisms for reproduction.
WHY do viruses reproduce in the living cell?
to divide themselves
What do viruses require to be able to reproduce?
a host cell
Can viruses reproduce by themselves?
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 cannot do what?
Viruses cannot replicate or carry out metabolic functions on their own. They depend on infecting host cells and hijacking the host's cellular machinery to replicate and produce more viruses.
Are Viruses able to reproduce without using other organisms?
viruses are dormant when they are not inside a living cell. that means they don't have living characteristics when outside a living cell. they only reproduce when they are inside a living cell.
Bacteria and viruses do not have a nucleus what helps them reproduce?
Bacteria reproduce by a process called binary fission, where the cell divides into two identical daughter cells. Viruses reproduce by infecting a host cell and hijacking its machinery to produce more viruses.
What to viruses reproduce?
a host Cell
How do viruses reproduce compared to bacteria?
Viruses replicate inside body cells, using the host cell to do the work and provide the materials for reproduction. Bacteria reproduce outside body cells and, since, unlike viruses, they are living organisms, bacteria are able to do the work and production of new bacteria without a need for a host.A description of the 'Lytic Cycle', the process that some types of viruses follow in reproduction, is given in the related questions below for more detail of the process of reproduction of some viruses inside body cells.
Can non-living things reproduce?
No, non-living things do not have the ability to reproduce. Reproduction is a biological process that involves the creation of new individuals from existing ones, and non-living things lack the necessary biological mechanisms for reproduction.
What do viruses have to support the idea that they are living?
they reproduce
What are pathogens cannot reproduce on their own?
viruses
What viruses break into cells to reproduce?
All viruses do that. That's what makes a virus a virus.
What are properties of viruses?
viruses are non cellular , they have no sexual or asexual reproduction they reproduce by replication
The phrase is not a cell but has the ability to reproduce within a living cell can be used to describe?
Viruses. Viruses are not considered living organisms, but they can replicate and reproduce inside living host cells by hijacking the cell's machinery. This process leads to the production of new virus particles, which can then infect other cells.
Which of the following is inaccurate in relation to viruses they have nuclei acid core they feature a capsid they seek out a specific host they reproduce independently?
they reproduce independentlyThis is a false statement as viruses need a host cell and it's replicative machinery to reproduce their genetic material.
Are viruses parasitic?
Yes because all the viruses uses host cell mechanisms to reproduce and then at the end of the reproduction process it destroy the host cell.Therefore there is no non-parasitic viruses.All viruses are parasitic.
