What is an RNA particle that causes disease?
A plant pathologist discovered an infectious RNA particle smaller than a virus that causes diseases in plants. He called it a viroid. Millions each year are lost by these viroids. These contain only RNA.
What is an infectious agent that consists of a small strand of RNA and that causes disease in plants?
A viroid is an infectious agent that consists of a small strand of RNA and that causes disease in plants.
What organic molecules exist in all viruses?
Nucleic acid (varies) and protein.Other infectious particles includes viroid, where there is only a tiny RNA used for infection, and prions, which is an infectious protein.
What is a single strand of RNA that has no capsid?
A single stranded RNA virus (ssRNA) is simply a virus containing a single strand of RNA genome, here are some of the families: Picornavirus, Coronavirus, Flavivirus and Togavirus. Note: These are classes/families of viruses
A disease causing particle made of RNA without a capsid is called?
A Prion. It transmits a mis-folded protein state, and replicates by causing the host's proteins to replicate into its mis-folded pattern. Mad Cow disease is an example of a prion.
Does a viroid have RNA?
yes . viroids have RNA but in naked condition.
Viroids differ from viruses by what?
A Viroid is similar to a Virus, but is smaller and consists of only a strand of RNA, while a Virus is larger and can have either DNA or RNA strands.
Which of these is an infectious agent composed of a simple strand of RNA with no protein component?
Viroid

What are single-stranded RNA molecules that have no surrounding capsids and infect plants called?
A viroid.
What is a infectious agent composed of a simple strand of RNA with no protein component?
Viruses are an infectious agent composed of a simple strand of RNA with no protein component.

Which of these is an infectious agent composed of a simple strand of RNA with no protein component viroid vector prion virus?
An infectious agent consisting of a protein is a prion. This is a misfolded protein. It can cause several central nervous system diseases including Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, Fatal Familial Insomnia and Kuru in humans, Spongiform Encephalopathy in cows, mink, and cats plus Scrapie in sheep.A VIROID consists only of a minuscule circular RNA molecule, lacking the protein coat of a virus. Viroids appear to be transmitted mechanically from one cell to another through cellular debris. They infect only plants. Viroids are common plant pathogens which cause severe economic problems.A vector is something that carries something else. Like the bacteria on our hands or the ones on the feet of flies.A virus is much more complicated than the viroid or prion and has DNA or RNA (not both) as their genetic material with a protein coat surrounding them.
If virus is the smallest creature than what is VIROID?
Viroid is a mild case of constipation. Just wipe and smile
