How does a virus reproduce?

How many times can a virus reproduce?

  • Extra credit paper.....how many times can a virus reproduce and how many "baby viruses" can it have in one reproduction? In it's whole "life"?

  • Answer:

    It depends what kind of virus you are looking at. Some viruses can reproduce an infinite amount of times (these are more commonly known as lysogenic). They can release anywhere from several hundred to several hundreds of thousands of new virions (baby viruses) with just one cycle. If this is an extra credit paper I would suggest you do some research on it since there are too many viruses out there, and they each behave differently, you can attach one number and one system onto all viruses
