Best Answer

Viruses use the host cells genetic material to make more of themselves.

Viruses are very small (ultramicroscopic).

50 million polio viruses can fit in one human cell.

Virus particles have a covering and a central core.

The core contains either DNA or RNA and sometimes proteins.

The covering consists of a capsid and sometimes an envelope over the capsid.
