What else can I help you with?
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.
What does the nucleic acid of a virus consist of?
The nucleic acid of a virus consists of either DNA or RNA, which contains the genetic information required for the virus to replicate and infect host cells. This genetic material directs the virus's metabolism and ability to hijack host cellular machinery for its own reproduction.
What is a virus with a segmented genome?
A virus with a segmented genome is a virus whose genetic material is divided into multiple separate pieces or segments. Each segment contains part of the virus's genetic information, and all segments must come together in order for the virus to be able to replicate and infect host cells. Influenza viruses are examples of viruses with segmented genomes.
A virus contains a set of plans for living cells?
A virus contains genetic material (DNA or RNA) encased in a protein coat. This genetic material allows the virus to replicate inside living cells by hijacking the cell's machinery. Viruses cannot live or carry out functions on their own, but they can infect living cells and use them to reproduce.
Where are the instructions for making new copies of a virus found?
Instructions for making new copies of a virus are found in the virus's genetic material, which contains the information needed for replication. This genetic material can be RNA or DNA, depending on the type of virus. The virus uses host cells to replicate and make new copies of itself, often causing harm to the host in the process.
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.
What is the function of viral nucleic acid?
The function of viral nucleic acid is to carry the genetic information that dictates how the virus replicates within infected host cells. This information is essential for the virus to hijack the cell's machinery and produce more virus particles.
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 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.
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.
