How does the virus use a host cell to make copies of itself

Biology

vagabundo [1.1K]3 years ago

Answer:

I wasn't quite sure what virus you were referring to in your question, but here's a general answer: Viruses use their host cells' machinery to replicate themselves.

If they are a specific type of virus known as a retrovirus, they have the ability to use the host cells' enzymes to change the RNA contained within the virus into DNA (via some type of replication I suppose).

In other cases, if they contain DNA instead of RNA (that is, the virus), they can use the host cell's machinery to create RNA via enzymes involved in transcription and/or they can incorporate that DNA into the host cell's DNA. This is part of a type of viral replication cycle known as the lysogenic cycle.

In another type of viral replication cycle known as the lytic cycle, the virus simply has itself and its genome duplicated until the host cell bursts, releasing the viral material. Here, again, the virus uses the host cell's machinery to replicate itself.

How can scientists learn about the mantle if they cannot study it directly?
Mice21 [21]
So by looking at the seismic waves from earthquakes the scientist learned about the crust and the mantle but they also learned about the outer and inner core. To do this you have to look at a different kind of waves, the S (secondary waves) waves that also get released by an earthquake.

Describe ways to produce meat more efficiently, humanely and sustainably. How can we make aquaculture more sustainable. Define o
vredina [299]

Answer: 1. Ways to produce meat more efficiently.

1. Livestock farming

2. Ranching

3. Grazing

2. Ways to make agriculture more sustainable

1. Practicing crop rotations.

2. Planting of cover crops.

3. Elimination and removal of soil tillage.

4. Practicing pest management.

5. Integration of livestocks and crops.

3. Organic Agriculture; this is a system of production that helps sustains the fertility of soils, ecosystems and it's people.

Advantages of organic agriculture

1. Reduction in production costs due to absence of expensive chemicals and fertilizers.

2. Farm workers are healthier.

3. Saves energy.

4. Environment protection.

4. Advantages of relying on perennial crops

1. Perennial crops have better access to groundwater due to their deep roots.

2. They require less irrigation.

3. They are more resistant to drought.

4. They help protect topsoil from erosion, runoff, and lose of nutrients which helps make the land fertile for agricultural purposes.

Explanation: meats can be produced more humanely and sustainably by practicing livestock farming and grazing.

The word organic means natural no chemicals or addictive organic farm produce are usually fertilised using animal waste and dungs.

By practicing crop rotation, the soil becomes more fertile unlike when one crop is planted continuously.

Perennial crops help repair our farmlands, unlike annaul crops. They protect the topsoil.

Base your answer(s) to the following question(s) on the diagram below and on
Kryger [21]

Answer:

The correct option is <em>Both Cell A&D.</em>

Explanation:

The diagram in the picture shows how a cell (A) undergoes the process of replication and produces a cell (B) containing one full set of double chromosomes.

Then, the cell undergoes the process of mitosis to produce two daughter cells (C & D).

Mitosis can be described as a method of asexual reproduction in which the daughter cells produced are identical to the parent cells and are also identical to each other. Hence, the genetic content of the cell C will be the same as the genetic content of cells A & D.
