Yes nucleic acid forund in viruses it can either be DNA e.g. bacteriophages which have single stranded DNA as S13, PHI 174. The another nucleic acid can be RNA e.g. TMV
Yes, viruses have a Nucleic Acid Core. It is protected by a protein coat and unlike animal or plant cells, they only have DNA or RNA, not both.
Of course they have. There is a protein capcid with nucleic acid
Nucleic acid
Yes. All viruses are composed of a nucleic acid surrounded by a protein capsid. When the capsid is not present, the the infectious nucleic acid is called viroid. When the nucleic acid is not present, the infectious protein coating is called prion.
The nucleic acids (RNA and DNA) are enclosed in a protein coat called a capsid. Viruses are divided into two groups for classification: those with RNA and those with DNA. Viruses do not duplicate themselves outside of a cell. They are able to replicate only within cells. The DNA or RNA is able to direct the cells to make more viruses.
No. They only contain a nucleic acid, either RNA or DNA, and some proteins.
a core is The part of a nuclear reactor where binary fission occurs.Some viruses contain DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)and other viruses contain RNA (ribonucleic acid). Either of these molecules is responsible for the primary qualities of life that viruses display while inside host cells. The nucleic acids are genetic instructions for viral activity and reproduction.
protein coat and nucleic acid
RNA
No. Viruses are very basic and that is why they require a host to live and multiply. A virus consists of nucleic acid and a capsid.
Nucleic acid
protein, nucleic acid /\All viruses are made up of a core of genetic material ... nucleic acid, which is either DNA or RNA. This is surrounded by a protein coat.
yes, viruses contain proteins and nucleic acid.
Major groups of viruses are distinguished first by their nucleic acid content as either RNA or DNA viruses.
All viruses have nucleic acid and a protien coat called a capsid
fg
Yes, viruses are primarily made up of either DNA or RNA both of which are nucleic acids.
Yes. All viruses are composed of a nucleic acid surrounded by a protein capsid. When the capsid is not present, the the infectious nucleic acid is called viroid. When the nucleic acid is not present, the infectious protein coating is called prion.
