What nucleic acid does the Ebola virus consist of?

The Ebola virus consists of single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) as its nucleic acid. This RNA is negative-sense, meaning it must be converted into a positive-sense RNA by the viral RNA polymerase before it can be translated into proteins. The viral genome encodes several proteins essential for the virus's replication and pathogenicity.


The nucleic acid core of a virus contains?

ribose


What is the function of the nucleic acid within a virus?

The nucleic acids (RNA and DNA) are enclosed in a protein coat called a capsid. Viruses are divided into two groups for classification: those with RNA and those with DNA. Viruses do not duplicate themselves outside of a cell. They are able to replicate only within cells. The DNA or RNA is able to direct the cells to make more viruses.


What is the nucleic acid core in a virus called?

the "core" of a virus is the nucleic acid (either DNA or RNA) that makes up the viral genome. this core contains all the genetic information of that virus, and is enclosed within the protein coat known as the capsid.


What pathogen that is made of nucleic acid either rna or DNA surrounded by protein?

A virus is a pathogen made of nucleic acid (either RNA or DNA) surrounded by a protein coat. The nucleic acid contains the genetic material needed for the virus to replicate inside a host cell.


What does the virus nucleic acid do?

Stores the virus' program code that tells how to do everything the virus needs to do.


What is the nucleic acid of a virus stored in?

The nucleic acid of a virus is stored in its viral capsid or envelope. The capsid or envelope protects the genetic material of the virus and helps it enter host cells to replicate.


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.


What does the nucleic acid do?

Stores the virus' program code that tells how to do everything the virus needs to do.


What are the two main parts of a virues?

The two main parts of a virus are Protein Coat and Nucleic Acid. The protein coat completely surrounds the nucleic acid and serves as a protective coating and aids in attachment of the the virus to the host cell. The nucleic acid can be either Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) or Ribonucleic Acid (RNA).


What is a biological particle composed of a nucleic acid core and a protein cover called?

If it consists only of these two components it is a virus.


What is a virus biologically active particle composed of?

Protein and nucleic acid.
