Which would survive best in cold weatheran enveloped virus or a naked virus?

generally naked viruses are stronger, because the viral envelopes are very weak. And those viruses depend on the envelope.

A virus is made of DNA and a?
A virus is made of DNA or RNA (never both) covered by a protein capsule called a capsid which may also be covered an envelope of more protein, carbohydrates (sugar) or lipids(fat). The different coatings allow the virus to trick the cell it is attacking to let the virus inside. This is why non-enveloped viruses are easy for the body to destroy and enveloped viruses are hard to recognize and destroy
Does a virus contain a cell membrane?
Viruses are not organized as cells and therefore do not contain cell membranes. However, certain animal viruses are found enveloped with a phospholipid outer coat
How do scientists classify viruses?
They are classified by a number of different viral characteristics. These include DNA vs. RNA viruses, single strand (SS) vs. double strand viruses (DS), enveloped vs. non enveloped, or retrovirus. For example the HIV virus is an enveloped single stranded RNA retrovirus.
How does the structure of a virus help it survive?
The capsid of the cell helps the virus to infect host cells as well as multiply quickly.
What additiional protective layer of protein surrounds some viruses?
This layer is called a capsid. The viruses without one are called naked viruses. The naked virus is can be damaged more readily by things in the environment.
Is Rubella a naked or enveloped virus?
I previously did a research project on Rubella. I found that it was a +Strand RNA disease and was enveloped. Hope this helped :)
Can naked virus have glycoproteins?
Unlike enveloped viruses that have glycoproteins on their envelopes, glycoproteins project out from the capsid of a naked virus. Most diagrams will show them on the end of spider looking legs projecting from the bottom of the capsid.
How do enveloped viruses differ from nonenveloped viruses?
DNA or RNA + Structural Proteins + Enzymes and nucleic acid binding proteins = Nucleocapsid (may be the same as a virion or surrounded by an envelope) If there is only a Nucleocapsid, then it is considered a Naked Capsid Virus If there is a Nucleocapsid with the addition of Glycoproteins and a Membrane, then the virus is considered enveloped.
Why do you call naked virus?
A naked virus has no lipid "coat".
Does a virus have cell membranes?
Enveloped viruses do have a membrane that they got from their host. All other viruses do not.
Where does an enveloped virus synthesize its proteins?
Viral proteins are synthesized in the cytoplasm using the host's enzymes.
What shape is aids virus?
The shape is odd considering that it resembles a T-rex on a skateboard.
Is chickenpox virus a DNA or RNA virus?
The virus that causes chickenpox, known as varicella zoster virus or VZV, is closely related to the herpes viruses and is an enveloped, double-stranded DNA virus
Is polio virus enveloped or non enveloped?
Yes, A SSRNA one. HIV is a retrovirus. All retroviruses are enveloped. This means when they leave the host cell after replication, they "bud" out and become coated in some of the host cell's plasma membrane which they embed with viral proteins. The capsid is then enveloped with a coating that the immune system is less likely to recognize as being foreign.
What is rona virus?
Assuming that you mean Coronavirus, it is a type of enveloped virus that resembles a halo under a miscrope. It can cause diseases such as pneumonia and the common cold.
When an enveloped virus adsorbs to the host cell with its protein spikes the virions are taken into the cell by the process of?
endocytosis
What is the mechanism of release for enveloped viruses?
The mechanism for the release of an enveloped virus is called "budding". The virus picks up a part of the host's cell membrane to cover its' own protein coat. This happens when the host cell releases the viruses. The cell doesn't bust open with budding.
