594ikfo94:

no A virus is a biological agent that reproduces inside the cells of living hosts. When infected by a virus, a host cell is forced to produce thousands of identical copies of the original virus at an extraordinary rate. Unlike most living things, viruses do not have cells that divide; new viruses are assembled in the infected host cell.

As a review: plagiarism is defined as “taking somebody else’s work or ideas and passing them off as one’s own.” (Sourced from Oxford Languages) It is important to give people credit for their work. Writing original answers requires careful study and lots of hard work. Citing sources encourages creators to keep creating content, knowing their work will not be stolen and passed off as somebody else’s work.
