A virus has a protein coat called a capsid with either DNA or RNA inside.
A virus can have one of three structures.
These are:
1. Helical virus. A helical virus is rod- or thread-shaped. The virus that causes rabies is a helical virus.
2. Icosahedral virus. An icosahedral virus is spherically shaped. Viruses that cause poliomyelitis and herpes simplex are icosahedral viruses.
3. Polyhedral Cylindrical shapes:
Tobacco mosaic virus
Wheat streak virus

What structure do viruses have that allow them to identify a specific type of cell and attach to it?
good
What cell structure could not be seen until the electron microscope was invented?
viruses
Is some viruses are prokaryotes and some are eukaryotes?
Viruses are neither prokaryotes nor eukaryotes as they are not living cells and do not have cell structure. They are parasites of living cells.
why viruses are acellur?
Viruses are acellular, which means they don't have a cellular structure. As a result, they lack the majority of cell components such as organelles, ribosomes, and the plasma membrane.
What basic structure do ALLL viruses share?
Although viruses may look different from one another, they all have a similar structure. All viruses have two basic parts: a protein coat that protects the virus and an inner core made of genetic material. (straight from a life science book) ~ Savannah (from Georgia)
What aspect of the structure of viruses is similar to all living things?
Presence of nucleic acid.
What is an astrovirus?
