Good lord people, if you don't know the answer just don't post. Please don't try to elaborate on a subject you know nothing about.

Ebola reproduces asexually. It replicates it's RNA (not DNA) without any form of consistent genetic exchange with other Ebola viruses. The RNA is released from the virion, replicated by encapsidated viral polymerase to make a positive sense RNA (messenger sense RNA), translated to make more viral proteins, and some of the postive sense RNAs become templates to make more negative sense RNAs. The new negative sense RNAs are encapsidated to make more virions.

Most virologists consider viruses to be alive. Many forms of life reproduce asexually, in fact the majority of living things do. This is not a criteria of life. Many forms of life don't have cell walls either, including many that reproduce sexually.

i'm rather advantageous the only residing issues that reproduce asexually are plant life and micro organism, fungi, viruses etc. In different words, as a replace of a mating between a male and a woman, they only chop up off a a ineffective ringer for themselves. some amphibians, like particular species of frogs or axolotls (salamander) can replace intercourse if the male to woman ratio is out of whack. Get a tank of adult males, and a few can spontaneously grow to be women human beings, and vice versa. yet birds, like reptiles, lay eggs. basically the female can lay eggs, and the female in lots of instances does with out having intercourse with a male - it rather is how we get chook eggs. The eggs can basically hatch into chicks in the event that they are fertilised with the aid of a male. So the answer to that's sexually. you're 12, i'm 31, and that i've got on no account heard of binary fission!!!! Says a hell of alot approximately my college...

Sometimes viruses do not have DNA inside. Retroviruses have RNA inside do we can actually take out the RNA and inject useful substances like human insulin and deliver it to a target site. But viruses inject their genetic material into a host cell and the host cell produces the virus and then the cell will burst and release the virus.

Viruses hijack cells to perform reproduction. A virus is nothing more than a few strands of DNA with a protein coat. The cell interprets the viral DNA as legitimate, and makes copies. These fill up the cells and kill the cells, releasing dozens of new viruses to infect other cells.

It is a form a parasitism.

virusses r called acellular due to lack of cellwall
this virus reproduce sexually -parasitism and mutualism

Viruses are not considered to be alive, so cannot reproduce sexually:
