Viruses are composed of two main parts: an outer protein covering called a capsid and an inside core of either DNA or RNA. Not both DNA and RNA. Some of these have an envelope over the capsid. The ones that do not are said to be naked. The proteins in the capsid allow the virus to attach to the "docking stations" proteins of the host cell. The naked viruses are more resistant to changes in the environment.

Neither - viruses do not eat. There are debates about whether viruses are a form of life, or organic structures that interact with living organisms.
All viruses have nucleic acid and a protien coat called a capsid
No, viruses do not have hyphae. Hyphae are filamentous structures found in fungi, which are eukaryotic organisms. Viruses, on the other hand, are acellular entities composed of genetic material (either DNA or RNA) surrounded by a protein coat, and they lack cellular structures and metabolism. Therefore, the concept of hyphae does not apply to viruses.

The two basic components of viruses are genetic material (either DNA or RNA) and a protein coat that surrounds and protects the genetic material.
No, viruses do not have endospores. Endospores are a dormant form of certain bacteria that allow them to survive harsh conditions, while viruses lack the cellular machinery to form such structures. Viruses are much simpler entities compared to bacteria.
No. Viruses are very basic and that is why they require a host to live and multiply. A virus consists of nucleic acid and a capsid.
-to isolate and identify viruses in clinical specimens -prepare viruses for vaccines -to research in detail the viral structures, multiplication cycles, genetics, and effects on the host cells
Viruses primarily consist of two main structures: the capsid and the genetic material. The capsid is a protein shell that encases and protects the viral genome, which can be either DNA or RNA. Together, these structures enable the virus to infect host cells and replicate. Some viruses also have an additional lipid envelope derived from the host cell membrane, which can aid in the infection process.
