Detailed explanation-1: -The virus’s genome is uncoated from the protein and injected into the host cell. Then the viral genome hijacks the host cell’s machinery, forcing it to replicate the viral genome and produce viral proteins to make new capsids. Next, the viral particles are assembled into new viruses.
Detailed explanation-2: -Viruses are fully reliant on the translation machinery of their host cells to produce the polypeptides that are essential for viral replication.
Detailed explanation-3: -Viruses cannot replicate on their own, but rather depend on their host cell’s protein synthesis pathways to reproduce. This typically occurs by the virus inserting its genetic material in host cells, co-opting the proteins to create viral replicates, until the cell bursts from the high volume of new viral particles.
Detailed explanation-4: -A virus is an infectious particle that reproduces by “commandeering” a host cell and using its machinery to make more viruses.
Detailed explanation-5: -All viruses are obligate parasites. They lack metabolic machinery of their own to generate energy or to synthesize proteins. So, they depend on host cells to carry out these vital functions. Most viruses have either RNA or DNA as their genetic material.
