Learn how active and hidden viruses multiply by attaching to living cells, injecting genetic material, producing viral proteins, assembling, and releasing viruses. Understand why biologists consider viruses to be nonliving and the importance of hosts in virus replication. Discover the functions of a virus's protein coat and how they attach to specific cells. Explore the differences between active and hidden viruses.
