A virus consists only of a protein shell and some nucleic acids, either RNA, DNA or both. It contains no organelles and requires a host cell with its associated cell machinery to replicae itself.

What is the difference between a virus and lentivirus?

Well, a virus refers both lysogenic and lytic varieties. A lentivirus is a family of viruses that follow the lysogenic model of infection where the genetic information of the virus is integrated into the host cell's genome. What makes the lentivirus useful as a vector in genetic research is that it is the only type of virus capable of penetrating the nucleus, that is, it can infect the host's genome at any point in the cell cycle where every other lysogenic virus can only infect during phases of the cell cycle that see the nucleus broken down.


Is a prokayote a animal cell?

Prokaryotes are organisms without a cell nucleus, or indeed any other membrane-bound organelles, in most cases unicellular. so no they are not animal cells.
