Viruses attach to the cell membrane of animal cells and break it, injecting their genetic material (RNA, sometimes DNA) into the cell. This DNA integrates itself into the host DNA and replicates with it, hijacking the cellular components.


Which cell structure is made up mostly of a fluid?

Both plant and animal cells have cytoplasm (a thick fluid made mostly of water). These are botheukaryotes, the type of cell with organelles. Prokaryotes have no organelles, but include DNA, a cell wall, flagella (a tail), and cytoplasm. :)


DNA molecules can be found both in the nucleus and in the?

Eukaryotes (e.g. - animals, plants, fungi) store DNA inside the cell nucleus. Prokaryotes (e.g. - bacteria) store DNA inside the cell's nucleus. Inside chromosomes, chromatin proteins like histones compact and organize the DNA. SOURCE: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA
