Where is the genetic material of the virus located?
The genetic material of a virus is located inside its capsid.
The genetic material of a virus is found in its .?
The genetic material of a virus is found in the capsid.
What is a virus that stores its genetic material as RNA called?
A virus that stores its genetic material as RNA is called a RETROVIRUS
Additional steps that occur when a hidden virus multiplies?
The virus's genetic material becomes part of the genetic material of the bacterium And After some time he virus's genetic material removes itself and becomes active
Where is the genetic materials of a virus located?
The genetic material of a virus is located inside its capsid.
What does the outer coat of a virus do?
It protects the virus and its genetic material
What is the dormant state of a virus called?
The lysogenic cycle. This is when the virus incorporates its genetic material into the hosts genetic material and becomes what is called a provirus.
How do hidden viruses multiply?
1. A virus attaches to a bacterium. 2. The virus injects its genetic material. 3. The genetic material of the virus combines with the bacterium's genetic material. 4. The virus's genetic material detaches from the bacterium's genetic material and the bacterium produces the virus's proteins and genetic material. 5. New viruses assemble. 6. The bacterium bursts open, releasing new viruses.
Where is the genetic material of a virus found?
Its nucleus.
What is the genetic material in the center of a virus?
nucleus
What is a DNA virus?
A DNA virus has only DNA as its genetic material.
How does an active virus multiply?
Once inside a cell, a virus's genetic material takes over of the cell's functions. It instructs the cell to produce the virus's proteins and genetic material. These proteins and genetic material then assemble into new viruses.
