What does surrounds the hereditary material of a virus?
The capsid. Made of protein, and sometimes various types of proteins.
Are bacteria and viruses surrounded by a protein coat?
No - They are surrounded by a protein coat called the capsid
What is the difference between cells and viruses?
Virus: is a strand of hereditary material surrounded by a protein coating that can infect and multiply in a host cell. Host Cell: a living cell invaded by or capable of being invaded by an infectious agent.
In the Hershey and Chase experiment that helped confirm that DNA not protein was the hereditary material the key finding was that?
The correct answer is: Radioactively labeled phosphorus was present inside the infected bacteria.
Why was Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase's experiment so important?
In their experiments, Hershey and Chase showed that when bacteriophages, which are composed of DNA and protein, infect bacteria, their DNA enters the host bacterial cell, but most of their protein does not. Although the results were not conclusive, and Hershey and Chase were cautious in their interpretation, previous, contemporaneous and subsequent discoveries all served to prove that DNA is the hereditary material.
It is a strand of hereditary material surrounded by a protein coating?
Virus :)
What a strand of hereditary material surrounded by a protein coating?
virus
What stand of hereditary material surrounding by a protein coating?
DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid)
In a cell what part is a strand of hereditary material surounded by a protein coating?
A Virus
What is a noncellular particle containing hereditary material called?
A Virus They have a protein coat to encase them
Group of microorganisms composed only of hereditary material wrapped in a protein covering?
virus~
What scientist determined that DNA not protein was the hereditary material?
James Watson and Francis Crick
What does surrounds the hereditary material of a virus?
The capsid. Made of protein, and sometimes various types of proteins.
How did the Hershey and chase experiment produce evidence the DNA and not protein is the hereditary material in viruses?
They found that all of the viral DNA and little of the protein had entered E. coli cells. Then they concluded that DNA is the hereditary molecule in viruses.
Is a cell Made up of hereditary material compounded by a protein?
The gel like substance found inside the cell is
Does a virus has an outer protein coat?
A virus has a protective protein coating called the capsid. The capsid is a cover for the genetic material inside, either RNA or DNA.
Does a virus have a protein coat?
Yes. All viruses are composed of a nucleic acid surrounded by a protein capsid. When the capsid is not present, the the infectious nucleic acid is called viroid. When the nucleic acid is not present, the infectious protein coating is called prion.
