Do bacteria have a protein coat?
No
A virus's DNA and RNA is surrounded by an?
A protein coat called a capsid.
What did hershey and chase know about bacteriophages that led them to use these viruses in their DNA experiment?
Bacteriophages are made up of little more than a DNA molecule and surrounded by a protein coat
Are fungi strands of genetic information surrounded by a protein coat?
No. That is a virus.
Are Viruses structurally organized?
no. a virus does not have enough characteristics of living things to be part of it. all it is, is a bunch of bacteria and enzymes created to eat bacteria and invade living cells.
What r viruses?
If you mean what are viruses then they are nonliving strands Rna surrounded by a protein coat
Are viruses made of?
protein, nucleic acid /\All viruses are made up of a core of genetic material ... nucleic acid, which is either DNA or RNA. This is surrounded by a protein coat.
Do viruses have a protein coat?
no
Do animal cells have a protein coat?
No, animal cells do not have a protein coat. Only viruses have a protein coat.
Do viruses have cyoplasm?
Viruses do not have a cytoplasm. A virus particle is known as a virion. It consists of nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) surrounded by a protective coat made of protein known as a capsid. Some viruses are surrounded by an envelope which comes from the host cell membrane.
Viruses are made up of a piece of nucleic acid covered by?
Their RNA or DNA (depending on the virus) is surrounded by a capsid: a protein coat made up of subunits of protein called capsomers
Do bacteria have a protein coat?
No
What are viruses made of?
protein, nucleic acid /\All viruses are made up of a core of genetic material ... nucleic acid, which is either DNA or RNA. This is surrounded by a protein coat.
Are viruses made of protein and lipid membranes?
A virus particle is composed of a nucleic acid that is surrounded by the capsid (which is the protective layer that is made out of protein). Some viruses can have lipid envelope however, not all viruses have a lipid envelope.
What is a virus molecule of genetic material surrounded by a protein coat?
The retroviruses are enveloped viruses that have two complete copies of RNA. They also contain the enzyme reverse transcriptase.
A virus's DNA and RNA is surrounded by an?
A protein coat called a capsid.
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.
