Viruses contain either DNA or RNA as their genetic material. Viruses containing RNA as their genetic material are called retroviruses
The genome of a virus could either be:
Inside the protein part... The genetic material is sorrounded by the protein :):)
Virus
A protein coat.
A virus
nucleic acids
The inner core contains genetic makeup that creats new viruses.
The genetic material of a virus is located inside its capsid.
The virus head is responsible for protecting and encapsulating the genetic material of the virus, such as DNA or RNA. It helps the virus attach to host cells and inject its genetic material to initiate the infection process. The head also plays a role in facilitating the release of the genetic material into the host cell for replication.
A virus that stores its genetic material as RNA is called a RETROVIRUS
The genetic material of a virus is found in the capsid.
The two functions of a virus's protein coat are to protect the genetic material inside and to react with the cell wall of a potential host cell, thus causing the genetic material to be injected into the host cell.
The genetic material of a virus is located inside its capsid.
Every virus has two main parts: a protein coat called capsid that surrounds and protects the genetic material, and the genetic material itself which can be DNA or RNA. The genetic material contains the instructions needed for the virus to replicate and infect host cells.
The lysogenic cycle. This is when the virus incorporates its genetic material into the hosts genetic material and becomes what is called a provirus.
Every virus has genetic material (DNA or RNA) and a protein coat (capsid) that protects the genetic material.
A DNA virus has only DNA as its genetic material.
Its nucleus.
