Question
how are new viruses made? (1 point) viral dna or rna copied by viral cells viral dna or rna copied by a host cell sexual reproduction asexual reproduction
Viruses lack their own cellular machinery to replicate their genetic material. They invade a host cell and hijack the host's cellular processes to copy their DNA or RNA, which is then used to assemble new virus particles. Reproduction terms (sexual/asexual) do not apply to viruses as they are not living cells, and viruses cannot copy their own genetic material independently.
