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.
DNA or RNA, read the fracking Wikipedia virus article, it is fascinating.
Yes, surrounded by a protein coat called a capsid you will find a few genes in either DNA, or for retroviruses, RNA.
Yes, the few viral genes are surrounded by a protein coat called a capsid.
replicate
yes!Virus contains both DNA and RNAsome viruses contain RNA as their geneti information and are called retroviruses.when retroviruses infect a cell, they produce a DNA copy of their RNA.
It protects the virus and its genetic material
Once inside a cell, a virus's genetic material takes over of the cell's functions. It instructs the cell to produce the virus's proteins and genetic material. These proteins and genetic material then assemble into new viruses.
Genetic material of a virus it can be DNA or RNA.
The virus's genetic material.
The inner core of a virus is made up of genetic material that contains directions for creating new viruses.
The inner core contains genetic makeup that creats new viruses.
A virus
The genetic material of a virus is located inside its capsid.
The genetic material of a virus is found in the capsid.
DNA
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.
A virus that stores its genetic material as RNA is called a RETROVIRUS
The virus's genetic material becomes part of the genetic material of the bacterium And After some time he virus's genetic material removes itself and becomes active
