Eukaryotes and viruses are both made up of genetic material (DNA or RNA). However, eukaryotes are complex organisms with membrane-bound organelles and a true nucleus, while viruses are infectious agents that lack cellular structure and can only replicate inside a host cell.
No, viruses are not considered to be eukaryotes. They are non-cellular entities that lack many characteristics of living cells, such as the ability to carry out metabolic processes on their own. Instead, viruses rely on host cells to replicate and survive.
a virus has no membrane bound organelles,whereas a typical eukaryotic cell has membrane bound organelles such as mitochondria. A virus destroys a cell by replicating itself and assembling new viruses inside the host cell until it bursts, releasing hundreds of new viruses
Cyanobacteria are believed to be the common ancestor of all photosynthetic plastids found in eukaryotes. Through a process called endosymbiosis, cyanobacteria were engulfed by an ancestral eukaryotic cell, giving rise to plastids like chloroplasts. This event played a crucial role in the evolution of photosynthesis in eukaryotes.
No, poliomyelitis is not a prokaryote. It is a virus that belongs to the Picornaviridae family and infects humans, causing the disease polio. Viruses are not classified as prokaryotes or eukaryotes as they are considered acellular infectious agents.
Some structures that are common to both prokaryotes and eukaryotes include ribosomes, cytoplasm, cell membrane, and DNA molecules. These structures are essential for basic cellular functions such as protein synthesis, cell structure, and genetic information storage.
Viruses are neither prokaryotes nor eukaryotes as they are not living cells and do not have cell structure. They are parasites of living cells.
Bacteria are prokaryotes, viruses are not classified within the six kingdoms of life, and so are neither prokaryotes nor eukaryotes.
The four domains are eukaryotes, bacteria, Archaea, and viruses.
There all eukaryotic and yes the viruses spread fast and duplicate by the bundle.
Bacteria are prokaryotes. Viruses are not living organisms, virus is a virus, that is all.
No, viruses are not considered to be eukaryotes. They are non-cellular entities that lack many characteristics of living cells, such as the ability to carry out metabolic processes on their own. Instead, viruses rely on host cells to replicate and survive.
No. AIDS is a retrovirus that affects humans, who are eukaryotes. Rhinoviruses cause the common cold. The list could go on.
Viruses that infect eukaryotes are generally not considered living things because they lack the cellular structure and metabolic processes characteristic of living organisms. They cannot reproduce or carry out metabolic functions independently; instead, they require a host cell to replicate and propagate. As such, viruses occupy a unique position in biology, often described as existing at the edge of life.
They use a different mechanism: RNAi short of RNA interference, cleaves the virus genome (usually double stranded RNA) and destroys any strand that is complementary to the viral genome. -eukaryotic viruses are usually RNA viruses so they eukaryotes don't really restriction enzymes to protect against viruses.

Eukaryotes have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, such as mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum, which prokaryotes lack. Eukaryotes also have linear chromosomes, while prokaryotes have circular chromosomes. Additionally, eukaryotes often have multicellular organization, which is less common in prokaryotes.
