What else can I help you with?
How are viroids and prions the same?
Both Viroids and Prions have nucleic acid, but Viroids have no outer protein coat.
Infectious naked strands of RNA are called?
Infectious naked strands of RNA are called viroids. Viroids are small, circular pieces of RNA that can infect plants and disrupt their normal growth and development.
How do viroids harm the plants that are infected with them?
the viroids harm the plants that are ifected with them by giving the plants some harmful thing
Is viroids a pathogen?
bot necesserily
What is the smallest known life form?
I believe that is what biologists call "viroids", which are much smaller than viruses, and as of yet are not completely understood. but if your asking for the answer for your homework and its not "viroids" its definitely "microbes" your welcome 100% on my tests ;)
What are the basic characteristics of viroids?
;j;ljk
Can viroids affect humans?
No, viroids do not infect or affect humans. They only infect plants, where they can cause diseases by interfering with the host plant's cellular processes.
Are prions and viroids smaller than a virus?
yes
Are viroid only made of rna?
Yes, viroids are solely composed of RNA. They are small, circular RNA molecules that do not encode proteins and are known to cause diseases in plants. Unlike viruses, viroids lack a protein coat and rely on host cellular mechanisms for replication. Their simplicity distinguishes them from more complex infectious agents.
Does a viroid have RNA?
yes . viroids have RNA but in naked condition.
Name the organism that is not even a whole cell?
Virus and viroids
What type of RNA is infectious in plants but not technically a virus?
Viroids.
