Viruses contain DNA and RNA true or false?

Yes. Although not both together, a virus contains a nucleic acid, either single stranded or double stranded DNA or RNA.


How are DNA and RNA simular?

DNA: deoxyribonucleic acid RNA: ribonucleic acid Both DNA and RNA are polymers of nucleotides. They both contain a sugar-phosphate backbone (deoxyribose sugar in DNA, ribose sugar in RNA) and they both contain A, G, and C nitrogenous bases (additionally, T in DNA and U in RNA).

Do virus have protein coat?

Yes. Viruses contain a protein coat called a capsid. Inside this capsid will be DNA or RNA but never both. Viruses that contain RNA are called retroviruses. They also contain the enzyme reverse transcriptase that allows them to convert RNA into double-stranded DNA once it infects a cell.


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.
