How many times can one virus "cell" change the chromosones/ DNA of another normal cell?
I assume you are talking about the integration of a retrovirus genome into the nuclear DNA of its host?
Integration can happen multiple times within a single cell.
It's best to refer to the infectious virus particle not as a "cell" but as a virus particle, or virion.
ok thanks. Is there any way to bea able to make a viron that can only interchange DNA only once or twice?
Not without making the virus much more complex than viruses usually are...Originally Posted by Topalk
