What is a piece of Nucleic acid covered with protein?
A virus is an example of a piece of nucleic acid (either DNA or RNA) that is covered with protein. The protein coat of a virus, called a capsid, helps protect the nucleic acid and allows the virus to infect host cells.
The nucleic acid in viruses is what?
RNA
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.
