What else can I help you with?
What is the dormant state of a virus called?
The lysogenic cycle. This is when the virus incorporates its genetic material into the hosts genetic material and becomes what is called a provirus.
A virus that stores its genetic information as RNA is called a?
retrovirus
What are the two parts does every virus have?
Every virus has two main parts: a protein coat called capsid that surrounds and protects the genetic material, and the genetic material itself which can be DNA or RNA. The genetic material contains the instructions needed for the virus to replicate and infect host cells.
Where is the genetic material of the virus located?
The genetic material of a virus is located inside its capsid.
A virus that stores its genetic information as RNA is called?
It is called a Retrovirus HIV is an example of a Retrovirus
The genetic material of a virus is found in its .?
The genetic material of a virus is found in the capsid.
What is protein covered genetic material?
Protein covered genetic material refers to the structure of a virus, where the genetic material (RNA or DNA) is surrounded by a protein coat called a capsid. This capsid protects the viral genetic material and helps the virus infect host cells.
Where is the genetic materials of a virus located?
The genetic material of a virus is located inside its capsid.
What is a single cell virus particle called?
A single cell virus particle is called a virion. It consists of genetic material enclosed in a protein coat.
What two things does every virus have?
Every virus has genetic material (DNA or RNA) and a protein coat (capsid) that protects the genetic material.
What is the combination of a virus's gentic material and protein called?
A virus has either RNA or DNA as it's genetic material and a protein coat. Together they are called a virus. Without either they are not infectious. There are some misfolded proteins called virons that are infectious but they are not considered to be viruses.
What is a DNA virus?
A DNA virus has only DNA as its genetic material.
