a core is The part of a nuclear reactor where binary fission occurs.

Some viruses contain DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)and other viruses contain RNA (ribonucleic acid). Either of these molecules is responsible for the primary qualities of life that viruses display while inside host cells. The nucleic acids are genetic instructions for viral activity and reproduction.

How is the viral nucleic acid core different from the nucleicid of the bacterial host?

The viral nucleic acid core is composed of the genetic material specific to the virus and is often surrounded by a protein coat. In contrast, the nucleic acid of the bacterial host is the genetic material of the host bacterium and is usually localized within the bacterial cell. Additionally, bacterial nucleic acid is typically organized within a nucleoid region in the bacterial cytoplasm.
