What 2 structures do all viruses have?
All viruses have nucleic acid and a protien coat called a capsid
Do viruses feature a capsid?
no
What parts does a virus contain?
There are different types of viruses .Most bacterial viruses possess capsid , genome , head , tail , tail fibers , end plate and collar . Enveloped animal viruses have envelop around capsid . Genome and capsid are essentially present in all viruses .
What is a viruses coat called?
Capsid.
Do viruses have protective shell?
coat or capsid
Do viruses have a protein coat?
no
What cover virus?
A capsid covers the DNA (or RNA) of viruses.
What 1 thing viruses do to stay alive?
They form a capsid.
What are the main components to all viruses?
Viruses are composed of two main parts: an outer protein covering called a capsid and an inside core of either DNA or RNA. Not both DNA and RNA. Some of these have an envelope over the capsid. The ones that do not are said to be naked. The proteins in the capsid allow the virus to attach to the "docking stations" proteins of the host cell. The naked viruses are more resistant to changes in the environment.
What are the two structures that all viruses have in common?
RNA (Ribo-nucleic Acid) and a Protein coat called the capsid.
Are helical viruses rod shaped?
Yes, helical viruses have a rod-shaped structure. These viruses consist of a cylindrical or helical capsid that encloses the viral genetic material, which can be DNA or RNA. The helical capsid gives these viruses their rod-shaped appearance.
What is the the outer protein coat of a virus called?
It is called the capsid, and is usually composed of separate sub-units called capsomeres.
