    No, not all viruses replicate this way, however, most do. And not all viruses are retrovirus and some are ssDNA or dsDNA, while others are ssRNA or dsRNA. And some viruses carry their own essential proteins while others use those in the host cell.

    yes, they all work that way. But different viruses LINK or attach differently.
