This is called a host cell. In the beginning, a virus will attach itself to the host cell and release its genetic material into it. This genetic material interferes with the host cell's enzymes which cause them to form parts in which will create a new virus.

A tiny nonliving particle that enters and the reproduces inside a living cell?
at first i was crying but then it just hit me it was a stupied virus
What three steps occur after a virus attaches and enters a host cell?
When a virus enters a cell and is active, it causes the host cell to make new viruses, this process destroys active virus functions inside a cell.....it like 'tricks' the host cell that it's one of the cells
What does not describe an active virus?
it attaches to the host cell
Microscopic particle that invades a cell and often destroys it?
A virus is a microscopic being that can invade and destroy a cell. Viruses have some, but not all, of the characteristics of living things.
What are two types of cells called?
When a cell reproduces by mitosis, the two identical new cells are called daughter cells.
What happens to the provirus when the host cell reproduces?
When the cell reproduces, the provirus is copied as part of the chromosome. The virus chromosome is placed into the host cell's.
How does a virus infect your body?
The virus takes over your cell, then reproduces with the infection, making more viruses.
Cell in which a virus reproduces?
a virus can reproduce in any cell it is meant for. like, you can't get a skin virus in your stomach. some viruses affect more than one kind of cell
What must reproduce inside a virus?
Nothing reproduces inside a virus. It has to latch on the a host cell and insert its' DNA or RNA and then make the host cell reproduce virus particles.
What is the first thing that happens when an animal virus enters a cell and starts to reproduce?
it reproduces
A tiny nonliving particle that enters and the reproduces inside a living cell?
at first i was crying but then it just hit me it was a stupied virus
Does a virus reproudce by splitting in two?
No it does not. It reproduces by infecting/controlling a body cell and commands it to produce viruses.
How does a virus reprouduce?
a virus reproduces by budding
A virus reproduces by?
Virus reproduces inside a living host by replication during lytic and lysogenic cycle .
What is a virus that reproduces in a bacterium called?
A bacteriaphage (literally bacteria eater) is a virus that reproduces in a bacterium.
What is the lifecycle of a virus?
first is reproduces. then......
How do you get infected with a virus like the flu?
Someone coughs on you (or near you ... possibly in time) You touch the virus, then you wipe your eyes (most commonly) The virus gets under your skin, gets into a cell of your body, and reproduces.
