Nucleus = where the DNA content is kept in a double stranded molecule

Their function, like any other cell, is to survive. In order to survive it, needs a host so, depending on what it is (a bacteria or a virus) it inserts its dna strand in the host cell. It copies it and survives by replicating its self - which is why so many viruses or bacteria go away with treatment and not on their own.
