What else can I help you with?
All of the DNA in each cell of the body is called the?
blueprint cell
Why do most viruses have a single strand genome while larger viruses have a double strand genome?
Most viruses with single-stranded genomes are simpler in structure and replicate more quickly, while larger viruses with double-stranded genomes tend to have more complex genetic material and biological machinery, which may require a double-stranded genome for stability and efficiency in storing and replicating genetic information.
What is a virus with a segmented genome?
A virus with a segmented genome is a virus whose genetic material is divided into multiple separate pieces or segments. Each segment contains part of the virus's genetic information, and all segments must come together in order for the virus to be able to replicate and infect host cells. Influenza viruses are examples of viruses with segmented genomes.
RNA viruses are also called?
Viruses with RNA as their genetic material are called retroviruses. They use the enzyme reversetranscriptase to transcribe their RNA genome into DNA, which is then inserted into the host's genome.
What is all the genetic information in one complete set of hereditary material?
The genetic information in one complete set of hereditary material is called a genome. It comprises all the DNA in an organism's cells, including genes that code for proteins and non-coding regions that regulate gene expression and other cellular processes. The genome contains the instructions necessary for an organism's growth, development, and functioning.
Are DNA genomes found in all organisms and viruses?
yes, but many viruses do not have DNA genome, but RNA genome.
Are enteroviruses RNA viruses?
Yes, enteroviruses are RNA viruses belonging to the Picornaviridae family. Their genome is composed of single-stranded RNA.
What characteristics do scientists use to classify viruses?
their genome
What is the main way viruses replicate?
It depends on the nature of its genome
What contributes to antigenic shift in influenza viruses?
a segmented genome

What surrounds a virus?
I take it that you meant to ask what surrounds the genome of the virus. The genome of the virus (be it DNA or RNA) is enclosed within the capsid shell. The capsid shell is made by the oligomerisation of capsid proteins in a specific organised manner. The genome together with the capsid is termed as nucleocapsid. Sometimes the nucleocapsid is surrounded by a phospholipid membrane (of host origin) called the envelope. The viruses which have an envelope are called envelope viruses eg., Chikunguyna virus, Rabies virus, HIV and the viruses without an envelope are called naked viruses eg., Poliovirus, Rotavirus

Phages or viruses that go through the lysogenic virus cycle?
Phages are also known as bacteriophages which are viruses. They are specifically viruses that attack bacteria. Depending on the species, some viruses incorporate their DNA in to the host's genome. These viruses are known as proviruses because they can go through the lysogenic cycle.
Why is a genome so important?
The human genome is all of the bodies DNA
What is a genome and why is it so important?
A genome is the sequence of all nucleotides in an order.
