What is the nucleic acid of a virus stored in?
In its' capsid.
What is a virus surrounded by?
The nucleic acid of a virus is covered by a protein capsid.
What does the virus nucleic acid do?
Stores the virus' program code that tells how to do everything the virus needs to do.
What is the function of virus head?
the nucleic acid and capsid of virus are in the head and they help also grow the virus
What are the two nucleic acid that a capsid of a virus may enclose?
DNA and RNA.
What does the nucleic acid of a virus consist of?
DNA or RNA
A research student is analyzing the nucleic acid of a virus He finds that the nucleic acid contains thymine From this it can be concluded that the nucleic acid?
Is DNA.
What is the nucleic acid of a virus stored in?
In its' capsid.
What is a virus surrounded by?
The nucleic acid of a virus is covered by a protein capsid.
The nucleic acid core of a virus contains?
ribose
What is the nucleic acid core in a virus called?
the "core" of a virus is the nucleic acid (either DNA or RNA) that makes up the viral genome. this core contains all the genetic information of that virus, and is enclosed within the protein coat known as the capsid.
What does the virus nucleic acid do?
Stores the virus' program code that tells how to do everything the virus needs to do.
What is the function of the nucleic acid within a virus?
The nucleic acids (RNA and DNA) are enclosed in a protein coat called a capsid. Viruses are divided into two groups for classification: those with RNA and those with DNA. Viruses do not duplicate themselves outside of a cell. They are able to replicate only within cells. The DNA or RNA is able to direct the cells to make more viruses.
What does the nucleic acid do?
Stores the virus' program code that tells how to do everything the virus needs to do.
What component of a virus is injected into infected cell?
the nucleic acid
What is the function of virus head?
the nucleic acid and capsid of virus are in the head and they help also grow the virus
What are the two main parts of a virues?
The two main parts of a virus are Protein Coat and Nucleic Acid. The protein coat completely surrounds the nucleic acid and serves as a protective coating and aids in attachment of the the virus to the host cell. The nucleic acid can be either Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) or Ribonucleic Acid (RNA).
