What else can I help you with?
What is the name for a package of nucleic acid wrapped in a protein coat that must use a host cell's machinery to reproduce itself?
A virus is a package of nucleic acid wrapped in a protein coat that requires a host cell's machinery to replicate.
What radioactive tracer would you use to label only the protein in an RNA virus assume the virus is composed of only a protein coat and an RNA core?
To specifically label the protein in an RNA virus, you would use a radioactive tracer that binds specifically to proteins, such as ^35S (sulfur-35). This tracer would only be incorporated into the protein coat of the virus during replication or assembly, allowing you to track and study the behavior of the viral protein without labeling the RNA core.
What two things does every virus have?
Every virus has genetic material (DNA or RNA) and a protein coat (capsid) that protects the genetic material.
What is made of genetic material inside a protein coat?
A virus.Some viruses have double-stranded DNA, some have single-stranded. There are also viruses that carry their genetic information in RNA, some double-stranded, some single.
Viruses consist of a protein coat around?
A plasmid (loop) of DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) and an assortment of enzymes and viral proteins.
Does a virus' coat contain protein?
If a virus has one, yes, and it's often referred to as a "protein coat."
What is a virus's coat?
protein
What makes up the coat for a virus?
protein makes up the coat of a virus
What is a virus outer protein coat called?
Protein capsid.
What is a virus's protein coat called?
Capsidecapsid
What is the protein coat the surrounds a virus call?
The protein coat surrounding the nucleic acid of a virus is called the capsid. These are broadly classified according to their structures. Helical (cylindrical) and icosahedral (spherical) are the most common types.
What micro-organism has a protein coat?
A virus is a microorganism that has a protein coat, also known as a capsid, which surrounds its genetic material. The protein coat helps protect the viral genome and assists in the virus' ability to infect host cells.
What is the function of the protein coat of the virus?

What is a microscopic agent which is not cellular and is composed of nucleic acid surrounded by a protein coat?
A virus is a microscopic agent that is not cellular and is composed of nucleic acid surrounded by a protein coat.
A is not a living thing it is made of genetic material inside a protein coat?
Virus
What is the structure of typical virus?
a typical virus has a core of DNA or RNA and a protein coat
What structures are a part of a virus?
protein coat and the nucleus acid
