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

Biology

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.

Which form of biotechnology involves creating a genetic duplicate of an organism
Crank

Creating a genetic duplicate of an organism using biotechnological methods is known as reproductive cloning.

<h3>Reproductive cloning</h3>

Cloning generally refers to the production of clones.

Clones are exact copies of an organism or something.

When it comes to living organisms, clones are both genetically and physically the same.

Thus, creating a genetic duplicate of an organism is a form of cloning known as reproductive cloning.
