'this' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'no real bite' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'no' could be 'o' (resembles 0 - 'no' can mean 'zero') and 'o' is present in the answer.
'real' could be 'e' (e is a kind of real) and 'e' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'has' is the link.
