Viruses are noncellular genetic elements that use a living cell for their replication and have an extracellular state. Viruses are ultramicroscopic particles containing nucleic acid surrounded by protein, and in some cases, other macromolecular components such as a membranelike envelope.

How do viruses duplicate themsdlves?
Viruses can duplicate themselves because of the code that is written into the virus. Viruses are designed often times and self replicate so that they are hard to get rid of. People that write viruses have nothing better to do with their time it seems and they want to cause damage. If the virus keeps duplicating itself, it can do more damage then it would if it ran only once.
Can malware duplicate itself?
Yes, some types of malware, such as worms and viruses, can duplicate themselves to spread across networks and infect multiple systems.
Are viruses prokaryotes eukaryotes or none?
There all eukaryotic and yes the viruses spread fast and duplicate by the bundle.
Viruses must reproduce in a cell because they lack organelles needed to duplicate viral components?
. Viruses must reproduce in a host cell because they lack organelles needed to duplicate viral components. True or false
How do viruses multiply and what diseases you can can get from them?
There are currently 20 families of viruses that infect humans. There are two additional viruses (Hepatitis D and Hepatitis E) which have not yet been assigned to a families but are clearly distinct from the other families infecting humans. Viruses replicate inside cells by hijacking strands of RNA to duplicate themselves. See the related link for more details on viral diseases.
What basic characteristic of life allows organisms to duplicate themselves?
reproduction
The cells in your skin can make duplicate copies of themselves. This is called?
Mitosis
What type of computer programs did the Dark Avenger Mutation Engine promise to make more powerful?
Viruses. Dark Avenger created a Polymorphic (mutation) Engine which allowed viruses to duplicate themselves, each time modifying itself (mutating itself). This made it incredibly difficult for anti virus softwares to detect the virus, so much so that they needed to create a new technique in order to detect these Polymorphic (mutating) viruses.
Do viruses come in many shapes and sizes?
yes but a lot of viruses are copies of themselves
WHY do viruses reproduce in the living cell?
to divide themselves
Can viruses can reproduce by themselves?
No. Viruses must invade a host cell and hijack its resources to replicate itself.
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.
