Why do Bacteria differ from viruses because bacteria have?
Because bacteria have only DNA as genetic material but viruses have RNA or DNA as genetic material. viruses are harmful but most of the bacteria are useful.
What genetic material is in both viruses and bacteria?
DNA and RNA.
What are the similarities of viruses and prokaryotes?
They all contain DNA in there genetic material
What is protein covered genetic material?
Viruses are bits of genetic material, either DNA or RNA, that are covered in a protein sheath.
How are viruses harmful to living cells?
Viruses can reproduce very quickly. When reproducing they enter a living cell and they inject their genetic material.
What kind of genetic material do viruses have?
The genetic material that viruses have is RNA. Viruses are unable to truly carry out the processes associated with holding their own DNA.

What do all viruses have?
genetic material of their own
What genetic material in viruses?
The hereditary material of viruses vary. Some viruses have DNA and some RNA. Viruses with RNA change, for example the flu, that's why we get a shot every year. The viruses with DNA don't change so that's why you need only one shot.
Is genetic material found in both cells and viruses?

What are viruses and what are cell?

What diseases are not caused by bacterium?

What genetic material is in both viruses and bacteria?
DNA and RNA.
What is a true statement of the genetic material in viruses?

What molecule is used to store genetic information?
DNA stores genetic information but other molecule which also serve as genetic material is RNA which is found generally in plant viruses. So both DNA & RNA are genetic material. DNA stores genetic information but other molecule which also serve as genetic material is RNA which is found generally in plant viruses.
Are viruses prokaryotes?
First off a prokaryotic organism is a thing that has no nucleus that holds it's genetic material. Viruses are prokaryotes. Their genetic material isn't in a nucleus. It has an inner core that holds its genetic material, and the inner core is protected by the virus's protein coat.
