Viruses are composed of two main parts: an outer protein covering called a capsid and an inside core of either DNA or RNA. Not both DNA and RNA. Some of these have an envelope over the capsid. The ones that do not are said to be naked. The proteins in the capsid allow the virus to attach to the "docking stations" proteins of the host cell. The naked viruses are more resistant to changes in the environment.

What are the four main shapes of viruses and how are they different?
The four main shapes of viruses are helical, icosahedral, complex, and spherical. Helical viruses have a rod-like structure formed by spiral arrangements of protein subunits, while icosahedral viruses have a symmetrical shape with 20 triangular faces. Complex viruses, such as bacteriophages, have a more intricate structure, often combining both helical and icosahedral forms, alongside additional components like tails. Spherical viruses have a round shape, typically encased in a lipid envelope, making them distinct from the other shapes.
What is the main part of a Dell computer?
All computers contain the same set of components so the question can not be answered specifically for a DELL.All of the components, or substantially all of the components are required to make the machine work. That said I would think that all of the components are main components.The processor, memory; those are considered the heart of the machine.
