Which of these does a virus need in order to multiply?(1 point)
Responses
New ADP from a host cell
New ADP from a host cell
A host cell to replicate the virus’s DNA
A host cell to replicate the virus’s DNA
Chloroplasts from a host cell
Chloroplasts from a host cell
A host cell to provide oxygen for the virus
A host cell to replicate the virus’s DNA
The correct response is:
A host cell to replicate the virus's DNA
To determine which option a virus needs in order to multiply, we need to understand the basic characteristics of a virus. Viruses are infectious agents that rely on a host cell to replicate and produce more virus particles. They do not possess the necessary organelles or metabolic processes to reproduce on their own. Instead, they must invade a host cell and hijack its cellular machinery to replicate and multiply.
Looking at the given options:
1. New ADP from a host cell: ADP (adenosine diphosphate) is a molecule involved in energy metabolism. While viruses do require energy to replicate, they do not specifically need new ADP from a host cell. ADP can be produced in a host cell through cellular respiration, but it is not a direct requirement for viral multiplication.
2. A host cell to replicate the virus's DNA: This option is the correct answer. Viruses typically contain genetic material, either DNA or RNA, which needs to be replicated in order for the virus to multiply. To accomplish this, the virus needs to enter a host cell and use the host cell's replication machinery to make copies of its genetic material.
3. Chloroplasts from a host cell: Chloroplasts are specialized organelles found in plant cells that are responsible for photosynthesis. Viruses do not require chloroplasts from a host cell to multiply. Additionally, most viruses infect animal cells, which do not possess chloroplasts.
4. A host cell to provide oxygen for the virus: Oxygen is used by cells to generate energy through the process of cellular respiration. However, viruses do not require oxygen themselves, nor do they need a host cell to provide oxygen. Viruses can only replicate using the host cell's resources and metabolic processes.
Therefore, the correct option is:
- A host cell to replicate the virus's DNA.

Which statement best describes viral reproduction? (1 point)
Viral nucleic acid is inserted into a host cell where it may
replicate immediately or become dormant until a later
time.
The lysogenic phase of viral replication causes cell death
while the lytic phase of viral replication results in prophage
formation.
Viruses reproduce independent of cell based organisms.
Viruses may contain DNA or RNA.
