yes, but many viruses do not have DNA genome, but RNA genome.

Where are genomes found?
Genomes are found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells, which contain the DNA responsible for encoding all the genetic information of an organism. In prokaryotes, such as bacteria, genomes are found in the nucleoid region, which is not a true nucleus but contains the DNA. However, some organisms also have genomes in other cellular compartments, such as mitochondria or chloroplasts.
What organisms carry recombinant DNA in their genomes?
eg for organisms which carry recombinant DNA : Ecoli
Is DNA found only in animals cells?
No, DNA is found in most living things (one of the very few exceptions being viruses, which is debatable if they are living), including plants and bacteria.
What is a method used to compare the genomes of different organisms or different individuals?
The comparison of the genomes of different organisms can be done by DNA profiling of those organisms. This includes the methods like electrophorosis, PCR[poly chain reaction] etc.

What structure is found in both viruses and living single celled organisms?
Nucleic acid

What is plus DNA and minus DNA?
If we are talking about viruses and their RNA genomes(eg:HIV), the negative strand DNA synthesis by reverse transcriptase occurs in the host cells, when the virus infects the host. And then, plus DNA formed by complementing this minus DNA.
What is the difference between DNA viruses and RNA viruses?
There are several differences for example; most DNA viruses use the DNA polymerases of of the host cell to synthesize new genomes along the templates provided by the viral DNA, in contrast to replicate their genomes, RNA viruses use virally encoded polymerases that can use RNA as a template. RNA viruses usually retain their RNA within capsids, whilst DNA viruses are less "packaged" usually retained within say a head, or a capsomere. The main difference of course, is that DNA viruses contain either a doubled stranded DNA (dsDNA) or a single stranded (ssDNA), and RNA viruses contain dsRNA or ssRNA. There are of course several other differences, but these are the ones I know of.
Some organisms use singlestranded rather than doublestranded DNA In these organisms which enzyme would probably not be needed for DNA replication?
Some viruses have single stranded DNA molecules. These viruses do not have the machinery to synthesise the DNA on their own. They insert their DNA in a living cell where the DNA synthesis takes place.
Are genomes made of proteins?
No; genomes are made from DNA or RNA, which are nucleic acids,
Is DNA usually single-stranded?
DNA is double stranded Except in bacteria and some viruses and chloroplast and mitochondrial DNA
Viruses are single celled organisms?
No. Viruses are not cells. They invade cells to get the materials to copy their DNA. Many people do not consider viruses to be truly alive.
