What do all viruses need to reproduce?
Answer (2)
a host organism be it a single bacterium or a human cell
Viruses need a host cell to reproduce, as they cannot replicate independently. They attach to a host, enter the cell, hijack the cell's machinery to make copies, and then release new viruses to infect other cells. Host cell specificity is important, as viruses can only infect certain types of cells with the right receptors.
