Because it doesn't use it's DNA or RNA to function, it uses it to inject into a cell and switch the cell's instructions to its own so the cell will make more viruses. Cells have DNA and RNA to tell the cell what to do, but viruses just do it naturally. Viruses have no use for both.
Viruses that are made of DNA use the host cell's enzymes to synthesize the RNA needed to synthesize viral proteins. Viruses that contain RNA have an enzyme called reverse transcriptase which they can use to synthesize DNA from an RNA template. Thus, they don't need to have both.
Different kinds of viruses can contain either DNA or RNA. This is encapsulated in a protein shell. Some viruses are also enclosed in a lipid bilayer, like cells.
AIDS is not a virus. However, HIV is a RNA virus.
Infuenza Virus Contain Both DNA and RNA. No other Virus show such characteristics.
Dna virus
Smallpox contains DNASmallpox is a virus, and therefore, can only have RNA or DNA. In the case of smallpox, it contains DNA. Viruses require a host to supply them with either RNA or DNA in order that more virus entities can be made.DNA
The influenza virus contains Both DNA and RNA.Its an exception.
AIDS is not a virus. However, HIV is a RNA virus.
Bacteria has both DNA and RNA where as Virus has either DNA or RNA
Infuenza Virus Contain Both DNA and RNA. No other Virus show such characteristics.
a virus.
What a cell and a virus have in common is the RNA or DNA. The virus can be either a RNA virus or a DNA virus.
The virus that causes chickenpox, known as varicella zoster virus or VZV, is closely related to the herpes viruses and is an enveloped, double-stranded DNA virus

The influenza virus contains Both DNA and RNA.Its an exception.
Reverse transcriptase is the name given to the group of viruses having both the RNA and DNA.
Yellow fever is a single stranded RNA virus (ssRNA)
It is an RNA virus, part of the Flavi family, and Hepaci genus
