Viruses do not contain DNA or RNA . . . they 'steal' those molecules from their host living cell.

Both viruses and cells are able to replicate their genetic material What is the main difference in their replication processes?
Viruses require host cells, whereas cells provide their own replication mechanisms.
What features are found in both cells and viruses?
Not all cells have organelles; only eukaryotic cells do. Viruses, likewise, are not eukaryotic cells and thus, have no organelles. Viruses are generally very small particles many orders of magnitude smaller than the smallest cell. In short, viruses have no organelles, so your question is nonsensical.
What genetic material is in both viruses and bacteria?
DNA and RNA.
What are the features virus and typical plant cell have in common?
AnswerThey do reproduce but a virus can't reproduce outside of a host cellso the only thing in common really is that the virus needs a cell to reproduceThe only real similarity between viruses and living cells are that they both have some sort of genetic material. Cells have DNA and viruses have either RNA or DNA. But since viruses cannot reproduce on their own (because they are non-living) they need to reproduce by inserting their genetic material into living cells.
What structural property of a virion has in common with cellular organism?
A virion is the infectious form of a virus outside of the cell before it invades. Both cells and viruses have genetic material.
Is genetic material found in both cells and viruses?
Yes, both viruses and cells have DNA.

What characteristic do viruses share with all living organisms?
Replicate Viruses are simple, and not cells, they attach to a cell infect it with viral RNA than disperse. They dont metbolize, use respiration, and not all living organisms move (plant cells) but they can move depending one what virus it is Viruses evolve, mutate and replicate at an alarming rates. Its to the point where you have to get newer shots more often because the virus changes or replicates so much
What genetic material in viruses?
The hereditary material of viruses vary. Some viruses have DNA and some RNA. Viruses with RNA change, for example the flu, that's why we get a shot every year. The viruses with DNA don't change so that's why you need only one shot.

What molecule is used to store genetic information?
DNA stores genetic information but other molecule which also serve as genetic material is RNA which is found generally in plant viruses. So both DNA & RNA are genetic material. DNA stores genetic information but other molecule which also serve as genetic material is RNA which is found generally in plant viruses.
Does the plant cell or the animal cell contain genetic material?
Both animal and plant cells contain genetic material, DNA.
How bacteria and viruses are alike?
Both viruses and bacteria can cause diseases, reproduce, infect something, contain genetic material, and are single celled.
Where is the genetic material in plant and animal cells?
It is water because both need it
