Binary fission
D
Exocytosis
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the process of viral replication: Viruses replicate by hijacking the host cell's machinery to produce new viral particles. Once assembled, these particles need to exit the host cell to infect new cells.
Learn about budding: Budding is a process where viral particles exit the host cell by pushing through the cell membrane, taking a portion of the membrane with them. This is common in enveloped viruses.
Explore exocytosis: Exocytosis involves the transport of viral particles in vesicles to the cell membrane, where they are released into the extracellular space. This is a mechanism used by some viruses to exit the host cell.
Clarify binary fission: Binary fission is a method of asexual reproduction used by bacteria, not viruses. Viruses do not reproduce by binary fission.
Understand endocytosis: Endocytosis is a process where cells internalize substances from the external environment. It is not a method for viral release but rather a method for viral entry into host cells.
