no. it needs a living host cell in order to replicate. A virus cannot replicate on its own or in a DEAD host cell.

a virus cannot replicate itself...period......it is not a living organism
it needs a living cell to do its "homework" since it has genetic material but not the metabolic machinery to replicate
so...NO.....a virus cannot do so in a dead cell

No. A virus is an "obligate parasite" , therefore needs to have a living host to replicate.

C is right answer. Viruses lack Replication machinary, for this reason they sparkling up this situation via injecting their DNA interior the host (micro organism). Viral DNA emerges interior the bacterial DNA and via bacterial replication machinary replicates and fills the host with the hot born viruses. at last, host bursts to launch the hot born viruses.
