Name an inert virus?
Open in App
Solution
Virus:
Outside of host cell, viruses are inert or are metabolically inactive.
Therefore, encounter of a virion to an appropriate host cell is a very random event.
The attachment itself is highly specific, between the molecules on outside of virus and receptors on host cell surface.
Example: Rhinovirus, herpes virus etc.
