How are viruses like hijackers?

• They take over the host cell's machinery to reproduce.

• They provide energy to the host cell.

• They help in the digestion process.

• They protect the host cell from other infections.

Why are viruses NOT alive?

• They can reproduce independently.

• They do not have cellular structure.

• They can perform metabolic processes.

• They can grow and develop.

What happens when a virus particle attacks a cell?

• The cell becomes stronger and fights off the virus.

• The virus injects its genetic material into the cell.

• The cell immediately dies and disintegrates.

• The virus and cell coexist without any changes.

Viruses reproduce by:

• Binary fission

• Budding

• Using host cells to replicate

• Spore formation

What happens to the host cell when a virus replicates inside it?

• The host cell becomes stronger and more resilient.

• The host cell remains unaffected.

• The host cell is often damaged or destroyed.

• The host cell becomes immune to future infections.

Which of the following is the correct order of steps in the virus life cycle?

• Attachment, Penetration, Uncoating, Replication, Assembly, Release

• Penetration, Attachment, Uncoating, Replication, Assembly, Release

• Uncoating, Attachment, Penetration, Replication, Assembly, Release

• Replication, Attachment, Penetration, Uncoating, Assembly, Release

What happens in the lytic phase?

• The virus integrates into the host genome.

• The virus remains dormant within the host cell.

• The virus replicates and causes the host cell to burst.

• The virus is transmitted through a vector.
