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 is the another name for an intact virus particle?
A complete virus particle is also known as a virion. It consists of genetic material (RNA or DNA) enclosed in a protein coat called a capsid.
Where is the genetic material of the virus located?
The genetic material of a virus is located inside its capsid.
What is virion?
A virion is a complete virus particle outside a host cell, consisting of genetic material (either DNA or RNA) surrounded by a protein coat known as a capsid. Virions are the infectious form of a virus that can transmit its genetic material to infect a host cell and replicate.
What is a virus that stores its genetic material as RNA called?
A virus that stores its genetic material as RNA is called a RETROVIRUS
The genetic material of a virus is found in its .?
The genetic material of a virus is found in the capsid.
Where is the genetic materials of a virus located?
The genetic material of a virus is located inside its capsid.
What are the two major components of a viral particle?
The two major components of a viral particle are the genetic material (either DNA or RNA) that carries the instructions for viral replication, and the protein coat (capsid) that protects the genetic material and helps the virus infect host cells.
How does a virus sustain life in its host?
First things first a virus is not living. The virus injects its Genetic material (G.M. for short) and and makes the bacteria make more viruses.
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.
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.
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.
