A virus is an organism that can reproduce only inside a host cell. They hijack the cellular machinery of the host cell to replicate their genetic material and produce new virus particles.
Since a virus can only replicate on a living cell, host cell, it wouldn't be able to reproduce.
Yes, viruses require a host cell to replicate and reproduce. They cannot reproduce on their own and rely on hijacking a host cell's machinery to produce new viral particles.
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.
A virus attaches to a specific cell because it has proteins on its surface that can only bind to receptors on that specific cell. This binding is necessary for the virus to enter the cell and replicate. This specificity is determined by the structure of the virus and the receptors on the cell surface.
Yes, that's the ony way
a Cell

No. They can only reproduce through taking control of a host cell.
Viruses can only multiply (reproduce) within a host cell. The type of host cell is dependent on the virus' host range.
Virus cannot replicate themselves. They should enter a living cell
Since a virus can only replicate on a living cell, host cell, it wouldn't be able to reproduce.
That depends. All viruses have a marker that binds to a specific site on a cell. For example, HIV virus will only be infectious to humans because only humans possess a cell with the correct binding sites.
The only way a virus can reproduce is by detriment to the cells of the host. Any cell infected will probably die, and so every virus is bad for you.
Viruses can reproduce only inside living host cells. They rely on the host cell's machinery to replicate and produce more copies of the virus.
Virus is a pathogen that can only reproduce inside a host cell. Some protists exhibit similar behavior. ---------------------- This being because many of the species of viruses do not have nuclei or a way to produce offspring. These microbes require a host cell for survival and reproductive purposes.
Viruses and cells both contain genetic material and can replicate, but viruses lack cellular structures like organelles and cannot carry out metabolic processes on their own. They require a host cell to reproduce and are considered obligate intracellular parasites.
