What else can I help you with?
Is nucleic acid found in viruses?
Yes, nucleic acid is found in viruses. Viruses can contain either DNA or RNA as their genetic material, which carries the instructions for viral replication within host cells. The nucleic acid in viruses is packaged within a protein coat called a capsid.
Are viruses made of?
protein, nucleic acid /\All viruses are made up of a core of genetic material ... nucleic acid, which is either DNA or RNA. This is surrounded by a protein coat.
Are there any organic compounds in viruses?
yes, viruses contain proteins and nucleic acid.
How viruses are categorised?
Major groups of viruses are distinguished first by their nucleic acid content as either RNA or DNA viruses.
What 2 structures do all viruses have?
All viruses have nucleic acid and a protien coat called a capsid
The basic components of all viruses are a nucleic acid and what other structure?
fg
What are viruses made of?
protein, nucleic acid /\All viruses are made up of a core of genetic material ... nucleic acid, which is either DNA or RNA. This is surrounded by a protein coat.
Viruses contains what?
Viruses contain an inner nucleic acid core (genetic material) and an outer protein coat (capsid).
What aspect of the structure of viruses is similar to all living things?
Presence of nucleic acid.
Are mitocondria found in viruses?
No. Viruses are very basic and that is why they require a host to live and multiply. A virus consists of nucleic acid and a capsid.
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.
Paritcle of nucleic acid and protein that can reproduce only by infecting living cells?
These are called viruses.
