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

Monocots and dicots are two groups of _____.
Step2247 [10]
I believe the correct answer is the second option. Monocots and dicots are two groups of angiosperms. This group of plants are seed bearing plants. Flowers are their reproductive system where the ovules are being enclosed in the ovary. Angiosperms can be found in every habitat from grasslands and forests to deserts and sea margins. Angiospersms are divided to monocots and dicots. Monocot plants are characterized by having one cotyledon while dicots have two. Also, leaf veins of monocots are branched while that of dicots are parallel. The root system of monocots is a fibrous root system while dicots have a taproot system.
