DNA and RNA. Viruses that use RNA often have to have enzymes that convert the RNA to DNA.

Do all viruses posses a genome?
Viruses carry genetic material that they insert into our cells to make our cells stop doing what they normally do and start reproducing viruses, the genetic material is encoded with the information needed to reproduce that specific virus exactly.
The genetic material of a virus is found in its .?
The genetic material of a virus is found in the capsid.
Additional steps that occur when a hidden virus multiplies?
The virus's genetic material becomes part of the genetic material of the bacterium And After some time he virus's genetic material removes itself and becomes active
What are the two parts does every virus have?
Every virus consist of a capsid and genetic material.
What are the two major components of a viral particle?
The first two are common to all viruses:1. Nucleic acid core. The nucleic acid core can either be DNA or RNA that makes up the genetic information of the virus. RNA genome only occurs in viruses.2. Capsid. A capsid is the protein coat that protects the nucleic acid from the environment. It also plays a role in how some viruses attach to a host cell.Some have an3. Envelope. An envelope is a membrane bilayer outside their capsid. If a virus does not have an envelope, the virus is called a naked virus. A naked virus is more resistant to changes.
What two biomolecules can carry the genetic information for the virus?
nucleic acids and proteins
Where is the genetic materials of a viral located?
Genetic material of a virus it can be DNA or RNA.
A virus that stores its genetic information as RNA is called a?
retrovirus
Are fungi strands of genetic information surrounded by a protein coat?
No. That is a virus.
What is a tiny capsule of genetic information that reprograms the machinery of a living cell?
virus.
If virus will infect other virus?
nope, that really isn't possible as virus are acellular organisms and in order to reproduce themselves, they need a host cell. some of those virus contain genetic information, proteins inside them and no way to duplicate it. so what they do is invade a cell that can reproduce itself, and sneak the virus genetic information into the cell's DNA. once the DNA is replicated, the virus uses its proteins to cut the portions of its material genetic and it's done. the virus is replicated
A virus that stores its genetic information as RNA is called?
It is called a Retrovirus HIV is an example of a Retrovirus
What is the flow of genetic information used by retroviruses for AIDS?
AIDS virus belongs to retrovirus category. These type of virus has only RNA as genetic material. They depend on host cell's DNA to replicate.
What virus uses reverse transcription to pass its genetic information to the next generation of viruses?
The HIV virus is the one which uses the reverse transcription to make copies of itself. It gives out genetic information that helps it quickly multiply once it is in a host body.
Do all viruses posses a genome?

Where is the genetic material of the virus located?
The genetic material of a virus is located inside its capsid.
Where is the genetic materials of a virus located?
The genetic material of a virus is located inside its capsid.
