2 parts of a virus?
capsid (= protein coat) and nucleic acid - DNA or RNA.
Where is the genetic materials of a viral located?
Genetic material of a virus it can be DNA or RNA.
What is protein covered genetic material?
Viruses are bits of genetic material, either DNA or RNA, that are covered in a protein sheath.
Are fungi strands of genetic information surrounded by a protein coat?
No. That is a virus.
What does the outer coat of a virus do?
It protects the virus and its genetic material
Is not a living thing. It is made of genetic material inside a protein coat?
Virus
A tiny fragment of genetic material wrapped inside a capsul of protein is called what?
Protective protein coat
Every virus is basically some form of genetic material enclosed in what?
A protein coat.
A is not a living thing it is made of genetic material inside a protein coat?
Virus
What are two function's of a virus's protein coat?
The two functions of a virus's protein coat are to protect the genetic material inside and to react with the cell wall of a potential host cell, thus causing the genetic material to be injected into the host cell.

Where is the genetic materials of a viral located?
Genetic material of a virus it can be DNA or RNA.
Where is a protein coat found and what is it used for?
A protein coat (capsid) is the protein shell of a virus. It surrounds the nucleic acid and is made up of sub units called capsomere. It is used as protection for the genetic material inside the shell and as reactant with the cell wall of a potential host cell allowing the transfer of genetic material into the host cell.
What are the 2 main components of a virus?
All viruses have 2 basic parts: a protein coat that protects the virus and an inner core made of genetic material.
Viruses contains what?
Viruses contain an inner nucleic acid core (genetic material) and an outer protein coat (capsid).
What is made of genetic material inside a protein coat?
A virus.Some viruses have double-stranded DNA, some have single-stranded. There are also viruses that carry their genetic information in RNA, some double-stranded, some single.
