<u>Answer:</u>

The correct answer option is D) A virus cannot reproduce itself without a host cell.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Viruses cannot keep themselves in a stable state as they are not made out of cells they don’t grow so they cannot make their own energy.

Though these viruses do replicate and adapt to their environment but they are are more like androids than real living organisms.  

They lack the ability of reproduction without the help of a host cell and do not use the typical cell division approach to replicate.

Answer:

Yes, it is possible to get shingles more than once.

Explanation:

Women are more likely to have shingles a second time more than men.

The longer the post herpetic neuralgia ( pain after shingles) the higher the chances of recurrence.

If shingles comes back, it may occur on another side of the body. This is because, once you have had chicken pox, the virus remains in the nerve. When the virus then reactivates the infected nerves become inflamed and when the virus reaches the skin, the rash appears.
