They are parasites, requiring human, animal, or plant cells to live The virus replicates by attaching to a cell and injecting its nucleic acid Once inside the cell, the DNA or RNA that contains the virus' genetic information takes over the cell's biological machinery, and the cell begins to manufacture viral proteins rather than its own Question 30 Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
