What is the nucleic acid core in a virus called?
the "core" of a virus is the nucleic acid (either DNA or RNA) that makes up the viral genome. this core contains all the genetic information of that virus, and is enclosed within the protein coat known as the capsid.
What part of the HIV virus serves to protect the nucleic acid core?
viral load
What is a caspid'?
The protein coat or shell of a virus particle, surrounding the nucleic acid or nucleoprotein core
What is a biological particle composed of a nucleic acid core and a protein cover called?
If it consists only of these two components it is a virus.
What a biological particle composed of a nucleic acid core and a protein cover is called a?
Virus (singular-virion)
What is the function of the nucleic acid within a virus?
The nucleic acids (RNA and DNA) are enclosed in a protein coat called a capsid. Viruses are divided into two groups for classification: those with RNA and those with DNA. Viruses do not duplicate themselves outside of a cell. They are able to replicate only within cells. The DNA or RNA is able to direct the cells to make more viruses.
Viruses contains what?
Viruses contain an inner nucleic acid core (genetic material) and an outer protein coat (capsid).
How is the viral nucleic acid core different from the nucleicid of the bacterial host?
bactrial DNA:- most bic / larger, but only one cell viral nucleic acid:- smaller then bacterial nucleic acid, but it has many cells
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.
If you opened a virus what would you?
You would find nucleic acids and core proteins
Most bacteriophages consist of only a coat and a core?
protein coat and a nucleic acid core.
What are 4 main parts of a virus?
Viruses are particles of nucleic acid, protein, and in some cases, lipids.
