1. How Cells multiply?

Cells multiply during a process called mitosis, which occurs when a cell multiplies
by splitting into two; for this to occur, sufficient nutrients must be present, and the
cell's DNA must be intact. The cell replicates its DNA and then progresses through
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase. There will be two cells after this
process.

2. How virus infect Cells?

A virus attaches itself to a host cell and inserts its genetic instructions after
entering the body. The virus may then use the host cell's operations to make the
components needed to replicate itself. These components self-assemble into new
viruses, which burst from the host cell and infect additional cells, either in the
original host or in a new host.

3. How Virus multiply?

The components which was born through the virus infecting the host cell will start
to self-assemble into new viruses, which burst from the host cell and infect
additional cells, either in the original host or in a new host.
