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

What do all forms of transport have in common?
allsm [11]
Active transport requires energy from the cell. It occurs when substances move from areas of lower to higher concentration or when very large molecules are transported. Types of active transport include ion pumps, such as the sodium-potassium pump, and vesicle transport, which includes endocytosis and exocytosis.

Did any alleles disappear from your population? if so, why? if not, why not? how does this relate to the most fit phenotype
dmitriy555 [2]
Alleles can disappear from a population through natural selection. This relates to the most fit phenotype because the breed with the desirable trait, or the most fit, will live and produce off spring. Eventually the less desirable trait and its corresponding allele will disappear after multiple generations pass. If the environment does not change alleles of non desirable traits will disappear. <span />
