The genetic material that viruses have is RNA. Viruses are unable to truly carry out the processes associated with holding their own DNA.
genetic material of their own
Because bacteria have only DNA as genetic material but viruses have RNA or DNA as genetic material. viruses are harmful but most of the bacteria are useful.
The hereditary material of viruses vary. Some viruses have DNA and some RNA. Viruses with RNA change, for example the flu, that's why we get a shot every year. The viruses with DNA don't change so that's why you need only one shot.
1. A virus attaches to a bacterium. 2. The virus injects its genetic material. 3. The genetic material of the virus combines with the bacterium's genetic material. 4. The virus's genetic material detaches from the bacterium's genetic material and the bacterium produces the virus's proteins and genetic material. 5. New viruses assemble. 6. The bacterium bursts open, releasing new viruses.
The genetic material of a virus is located inside its capsid.
I said the genetic material are located in the prokaryotic cells
Viruses are bits of genetic material, either DNA or RNA, that are covered in a protein sheath.
DNA and RNA.
it can be DNA or RNA
The genetic material is located in the nucleoid in a bacterial call.
Yes, both viruses and cells have DNA.
