No.
Viruses are tiny living organisms.
Heredity concerns genetics, which is very different.
This description refers to a virus, which contains genetic material (either DNA or RNA) enclosed in a protein coat. The protein coat helps protect the genetic material and aids in the virus's ability to infect host cells.
The capsid. Made of protein, and sometimes various types of proteins.
The outer coat of a virus, also known as the viral envelope or capsid, protects the genetic material of the virus and helps the virus attach to host cells. It may also contain proteins or glycoproteins that allow the virus to enter host cells and evade the immune system.
A bacteriophage. A virus that lands on the bacteria and injects the genetic material. Often, T even phages. ( T-2 and T-4 phages )
Once inside a cell, a virus's genetic material takes over of the cell's functions. It instructs the cell to produce the virus's proteins and genetic material. These proteins and genetic material then assemble into new viruses.
First the virus enters the host cell, then the virus' hereditary material come, then the host cells hereditary material becomes viral, then the host cell expands, and then it POPS!!!
Enclosing normal hereditary material in a virus and allowing it to move into cells to replace defective hereditary material in the treatment of genetic disorder is a form of gene therapy. A cell in which a virus multiplies itself in a host.
A Virus They have a protein coat to encase them
gene therapy, in which defective gene is replaced by correct gene with help of virus which work as vechicle for viruses
Latent Viruses: some viruses can be latent. That means that after the virus enters a cell, its hereditary material can become part of the cell's hereditary material.

virus
A virus can enter a cell and integrate its genetic material into the cell's own DNA without destroying the cell or replicating itself. This integration can lead to long-term effects on the cell's behavior and potentially alter the cell's hereditary material.

In cells they are in DNA. In virus they are in DNA or RNA
