A virus doesn't have DNA, it 'high jacks' it from cells. They work by basically taking over other living cells so they can reproduce, so the need DNA to live but they don't have any- Thus they steel DNA from other living organisms.

How DNA is destroyed by virus?
It is not destroyed. It is "hijacked" by a virus so that the host DNA will begin to make virus parts.

What is a DNA virus?
A DNA virus has only DNA as its genetic material.
Why rna virus is more mutant than dna virus?
during replication RNA-polimeraze it make a lot of erros.In this ways RNA viruses it mutate faster than DNa viruses.

Do viruses have membrane bound organeles?
No, a virus rarely has more than some strands of DNA stored in the capsule. The virus injects the DNA into the host cell for the cell to construct copies of the virus.
Where does a virus replicate its DNA?
