Final answer:

Helper viruses cannot replicate independently, so the statement is false. Viruses rely on a host cell to reproduce.

Step-by-step explanation:

Helper viruses cannot replicate independently, so the statement is false. Viruses are not cells and they rely on a host cell to reproduce. Once inside the host cell, viruses use the cell's components and machinery to replicate themselves. They cannot replicate outside of the cell.
