Disease causing nonliving particles composed of an innercore of nucleic acid surrounded a capsid made of protein?
Viruses ---> , there nonliving particles because they do not contain organelles that carry out cell functions, yet they are composed of an inner core of nucleic acids, surrounded by a capsid made of protein. They replicate inside living cells or "host cells" Hope this helps
