the parts are: the head or the capsid which contains the plasmid. it has protein subunits called capsomeres. another part is the sheath which contains the viral DNA tail fibers, base pate and pin for attachment to the host's cell.

∙ 10y agoViruses 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.
