Which of these is an infectious protein viroid vector virus prion?
Prion
A disease causing particle made of RNA without a capsid is called?
A Prion. It transmits a mis-folded protein state, and replicates by causing the host's proteins to replicate into its mis-folded pattern. Mad Cow disease is an example of a prion.
How do virus prion and viroid evolve?
Prions are misfolded proteins and may form because of some misreading of the DNA code. Virions are extracellular state of a virus with nucleocapsid.
How things like a virus prion and viroid can reproduce but are not considered to be alive?
The virus, prion and viroid don't meet the definition of alive which is:Movement: All living things move in some way.Respiration: Respiration is a chemical reaction that happens within cells to release energy from food.Sensitivity: The ability to detect changes in the environment.Growth: All living things grow.Reproduction: The ability to reproduce and pass genetic information onto their offspring.Excretion: Getting rid of waste.Nutrition: The intake and use of nutrients.All living things do all of these things. Viruses make use of living cells.
If virus is the smallest creature than what is VIROID?
Viroid is a mild case of constipation. Just wipe and smile
Which of these is an infectious protein viroid vector virus prion?
Prion
What is a non-cellular infectious agent?
A virus, a viroid or a prion

Does a virus have a protein coat?
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.
Which of these is an infectious agent composed of a simple strand of RNA with no protein component viroid vector prion virus?
An infectious agent consisting of a protein is a prion. This is a misfolded protein. It can cause several central nervous system diseases including Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, Fatal Familial Insomnia and Kuru in humans, Spongiform Encephalopathy in cows, mink, and cats plus Scrapie in sheep.A VIROID consists only of a minuscule circular RNA molecule, lacking the protein coat of a virus. Viroids appear to be transmitted mechanically from one cell to another through cellular debris. They infect only plants. Viroids are common plant pathogens which cause severe economic problems.A vector is something that carries something else. Like the bacteria on our hands or the ones on the feet of flies.A virus is much more complicated than the viroid or prion and has DNA or RNA (not both) as their genetic material with a protein coat surrounding them.

What Biological agent that is an infective chemical?
Prion Prion
When was Antarctic Prion created?
Antarctic Prion was created in 1789.
When was Fulmar Prion created?
Fulmar Prion was created in 1912.
