Why do viruses need hosts to reproduce

Biology
1 answer:
Olin [163]3 years ago
5 0
When it comes into contact with a host cell, a virus can insert its genetic material into its host, literally taking over the host's functions. An infected cell produces more viral protein and genetic material instead of its usual products. Some viruses may remain dormant inside host cells for long periods, causing no obvious change in their host cells (a stage known as the lysogenic phase). But when a dormant virus is stimulated, it enters the lytic phase: new viruses are formed, self-assemble, and burst out of the host cell, killing the cell and going on to infect other cells. The diagram below at right shows a virus that attacks bacteria, known as the lambda bacteriophage, which measures roughly 200 nanometers

Police sometimes gather people's DNA. Police say this helps them solve crimes. But some people are against this. They say police
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

1. Agree

If you haven't committed a crime and don't plan too, what is the problem with the police having your DNA information? Easy answer, there shouldn't be one. You would be helping the government solve crimes and your biological information could actually prove your innocence if anything ever happened. I don't think DNA should be considered "private information", the government can pretty much see everything else, why draw the line on something that could help society and yourself? Imagine if the police had everyone's DNA on record and when they found a hair follicle on the scene they ran it through their database and found a match, everytime. It would save a lot of time and get the criminal behind bars much quicker.
