No, viruses are neither prokaryotic nor eukaryotic - they are non-living and can't be classified as a biological organism.

How many domains are there?
The four domains are eukaryotes, bacteria, Archaea, and viruses.
Are viruses prokaryotes?
First off a prokaryotic organism is a thing that has no nucleus that holds it's genetic material. Viruses are prokaryotes. Their genetic material isn't in a nucleus. It has an inner core that holds its genetic material, and the inner core is protected by the virus's protein coat.
Are all living organisms eukaryotic?
No. Bacteria are classified as prokaryotic. Eukaryotes have differing traits from prokaryotes - most notably they have nuclei where prokaryotes do not have nuclei. Viruses are classified as neither prokaryotic or eukaryotic but are considered to be living organisms as well.
Do eukaryotes have DNA?
Yes, eukaryotes have DNA.
What does protists are eukaryotes mean?
protis are eukaryotes what it mean
Is some viruses are prokaryotes and some are eukaryotes?
Viruses are neither prokaryotes nor eukaryotes as they are not living cells and do not have cell structure. They are parasites of living cells.
Are bacteria and Viruses prokaryotes or eukaryotes?
Bacteria are prokaryotes, viruses are not classified within the six kingdoms of life, and so are neither prokaryotes nor eukaryotes.
How domains are there?
The four domains are eukaryotes, bacteria, Archaea, and viruses.
Are Bacteria and viruses pokaryotes or eukaryotes?
Bacteria are prokaryotes. Viruses are not living organisms, virus is a virus, that is all.
Are viruses prokaryotes eukaryotes or none?
There all eukaryotic and yes the viruses spread fast and duplicate by the bundle.
How many domains are there?
The four domains are eukaryotes, bacteria, Archaea, and viruses.
If there is no restriction enzyme in eukaryotes how the proliferation of virus is restricted in eukaryotes?
They use a different mechanism: RNAi short of RNA interference, cleaves the virus genome (usually double stranded RNA) and destroys any strand that is complementary to the viral genome. -eukaryotic viruses are usually RNA viruses so they eukaryotes don't really restriction enzymes to protect against viruses.
Is pneumonia caused by a prokaryotic organism or a eukaryotic organism?
It depends on what is causing the pneumonia. There are bacterial causes of pneumonia such as streptococcus pneumoniae and bacteria are prokaryotic. Viruses can also cause pneumonia and are not really considered prokaryotes or eukaryotes. Fungi are eukaryotes and can also cause pneumonia.
What kingdom do viruses and bacteria belong to?
Viruses are prokaryotes and not Eukaryotes. Therefore they are not alive. Since it is not considered to be alive they do not belong in the 5 kingdom classification; Monera, Fungi, Plantae, Animalia, Protista. Bacteria are living once celled organisms and belong to either bacteria or Archaea. *Viruses not considered alive because they need a host to be able to reproduce. They cannot reproduce on their own.
Are viruses prokaryotes?
First off a prokaryotic organism is a thing that has no nucleus that holds it's genetic material. Viruses are prokaryotes. Their genetic material isn't in a nucleus. It has an inner core that holds its genetic material, and the inner core is protected by the virus's protein coat.
What eats eukaryotes?
Other eukaryotes may eat eukaryotes and some prokaryotes may eat eukaryotes.
Viruses only work through or go through Prokaryote cells?
No. AIDS is a retrovirus that affects humans, who are eukaryotes. Rhinoviruses cause the common cold. The list could go on.
