Viruses are a form of organism that take over the control of the functions of cells they infect. They consist only of nucleic acid (RNA or DNA) inside a protective protein coat as a particle that assembles inside an infected cell. Therefore they have no nuclei, but in fact can be said to be somewhat of a parasitic nucleus inside the cells they infect. See the related links section below for definitions and descriptions of viruses.

∙ 11y agoViruses have neither a nucleus nor organelles - unless you count the cell that they have taken over as a "virus", in which case the answer is "yes" - IF it is a eukaryote.
However if you consider just the virus particle, or virion, then the answer is "no" no both.

∙ 11y agoNo, they don't really have any working parts. While there some advanced viruses that seem fancy, viruses don't have any of the parts you would normally think of when you think of a cell. They have no nuclei, mitochondria, or ribosomes. Some viruses do not even have cytoplasm.

∙ 10y agosometimes i like to buy bacon Sandwiches but other times chicken is nice the ones from mns are ok but the tesco ones are top notch where do you buy your sandwiches? sometimes i prefer to go with the pasta because it is more filling but sometimes the sauce makes me a bit ill so i always drink powerade to help me. lucozade doesnt help cos sometimes it smells like feet so i dont drink it oftern. seen you soon love from cake

∙ 7y agoNo, viruses do not have nuclei.
Virus show only reproduction as living property. They do not have any organelle
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoNo, because their not considered living

Once a virus gets inside a cell does it change the instructions to the cell's nucleus?
Yes, by inserting its DNA or RNA into that cell.
What do viruses have?
All viruses have is their membrane, cytoplasm, and their nucleus. These nuclei are different so that they kill other cell's nucleus and replace them and then the virus cells will increase in numbers.
What organelle act as the boss inside of a cell?
The cell nucleus.
What is the Headquarters of cell operations?
The cell's nucleus.
What cell contains DNA and is the control center of the cell?
The nucleus, and the nucleolus. thanks, Steph :)
Why is the virus eukaryote cell?
It has no nucleus, though technically a virus is not a cell at all.
What is a cell if it contains a nucleus?
A Eukaryotic Cell MUST contain a nucleus. A Prokaryotic Cell MUST NOT have a nucleus. A non-cell would be a virus.
What is a particle with dna but no nucleus or cell wall?
A virus is a particle with DNA but no nucleus or cell wall.
Where is the virus trying to go in the cell final destination?
The final destination of the virus within the cell is typically the nucleus of the cell.
What injects DNA and RNA into nucleus of the cell to reproduce?
A Virus! :<
Cells that dont have a nucleus?
virus??? Prokariotic cells, as bacteria, etc.
Once a virus gets inside a cell does it change the instructions to the cell's nucleus?
Yes, by inserting its DNA or RNA into that cell.
Has a virus a nucleus?
has virus a nucleus
How do virus propagate?
Viruses replicate by hijacking a host's cells. The virus inserts its own RNA sequence into the host cell's nucleus, forcing it to replicate the virus until the host cell dies.
DNA is found only in the what?
nucleus *DNA is located in the cytoplasm of prokaryotes, they have no nucleus. Also it is found in the capsule of certain virus proteins. It's in the sperm cell which has no nucleus as well.
How virus harm the human body?
the
Does a virus have eukaryotes?
thank makes no sence.. a eukaryote is a cell with a nucleus. technically a virus isn't even a cell... its just DNA/ rna in a protein coat. it cannot reproduce unless it has a host cell to insert its DNA/rna into.
