What two biomolecules can carry the genetic information for a virus?
The two biomolecules that can carry the genetic information for a virus are DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid). Viruses can have either DNA or RNA as their genetic material, which carries the instructions for the virus to replicate inside host cells.
What is the function of viral nucleic acid?
The function of viral nucleic acid is to carry the genetic information that dictates how the virus replicates within infected host cells. This information is essential for the virus to hijack the cell's machinery and produce more virus particles.
Where is the genetic materials of a viral located?
Genetic material of a virus it can be DNA or RNA.
A virus that stores its genetic information as RNA is called a?
retrovirus
Are fungi strands of genetic information surrounded by a protein coat?
No. That is a virus.
What is a tiny capsule of genetic information that reprograms the machinery of a living cell?
virus.
If virus will infect other virus?
nope, that really isn't possible as virus are acellular organisms and in order to reproduce themselves, they need a host cell. some of those virus contain genetic information, proteins inside them and no way to duplicate it. so what they do is invade a cell that can reproduce itself, and sneak the virus genetic information into the cell's DNA. once the DNA is replicated, the virus uses its proteins to cut the portions of its material genetic and it's done. the virus is replicated
Do all viruses posses a genome?
Viruses carry genetic material that they insert into our cells to make our cells stop doing what they normally do and start reproducing viruses, the genetic material is encoded with the information needed to reproduce that specific virus exactly.
A virus that stores its genetic information as RNA is called?
It is called a Retrovirus HIV is an example of a Retrovirus
What virus uses reverse transcription to pass its genetic information to the next generation of viruses?
The HIV virus is the one which uses the reverse transcription to make copies of itself. It gives out genetic information that helps it quickly multiply once it is in a host body.
Where is the genetic material of the virus located?
The genetic material of a virus is located inside its capsid.
Where is the genetic materials of a virus located?
The genetic material of a virus is located inside its capsid.
