A virus is a tiny bundle of genetic material - either DNA or RNA - carried in a shell called a viral coat, or capsid, which is made up of protein. Some viruses have an additional layer around this coat called an envelope. When a virus particle enters a cell and begins to reproduce itself, this is called a viral infection. The virus is usually very, very small compared to the size of a living cell. The information carried in the virus's DNA allows it to take over the operation of the cell, converting it to a factory to make more copies of itself. For example, the polio virus can make over one million copies of itself inside a single, infected human intestinal cell.
What else can I help you with?
Is cytomegalovirus a DNA or RNA type virus?
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a DNA virus. It has a large double-stranded DNA genome.
Is herpes a DNA virus or RNA virus?
AIDS is not a virus. However, HIV is a RNA virus.
Is smallpox a DNA virus or an RNA virus?
Smallpox contains DNASmallpox is a virus, and therefore, can only have RNA or DNA. In the case of smallpox, it contains DNA. Viruses require a host to supply them with either RNA or DNA in order that more virus entities can be made.DNA
What pathogen that is made of nucleic acid either rna or DNA surrounded by protein?
A virus is a pathogen made of nucleic acid (either RNA or DNA) surrounded by a protein coat. The nucleic acid contains the genetic material needed for the virus to replicate inside a host cell.
What is a typical virus made of?
A typical virus is made up of a core of genetic material, either RNA or DNA. It is engulfed by a protective coat referred to as a capsid which is made up of protein.
What is a DNA virus?
A DNA virus has only DNA as its genetic material.
Is cytomegalovirus a DNA or RNA type virus?
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a DNA virus. It has a large double-stranded DNA genome.
What does a cell and virus have in common?
What a cell and a virus have in common is the RNA or DNA. The virus can be either a RNA virus or a DNA virus.
How do you make a virus on the alxemy game?
DNA+DNA=virus
How do you make virus on the game alxemy?
DNA+DNA=virus
Is herpes a DNA virus or RNA virus?
AIDS is not a virus. However, HIV is a RNA virus.
What is covering of virus?
virus consist of two layers: 1. its inner layer is made up of DNA. 2. whereas its outer layer or covering is made up of PROTEIN.......and such virus is known as BACTERIOPHAGE VIRUS
Is a HIV virus an exemple of DNA containing virus?
HIV is an RNA-virus. It does not contain DNA.
What is bigger a molecule or a virus?
Of course a virus is bigger. Viruses contain DNA which is a polymer made up of many molecules.
How do you make virus on alxemy?
WAY too easy.you just add DNA with DNA which equals virus
Is smallpox a DNA virus or an RNA virus?
Smallpox contains DNASmallpox is a virus, and therefore, can only have RNA or DNA. In the case of smallpox, it contains DNA. Viruses require a host to supply them with either RNA or DNA in order that more virus entities can be made.DNA
A virus is made of DNA and a?
A virus is made of DNA or RNA (never both) covered by a protein capsule called a capsid which may also be covered an envelope of more protein, carbohydrates (sugar) or lipids(fat). The different coatings allow the virus to trick the cell it is attacking to let the virus inside. This is why non-enveloped viruses are easy for the body to destroy and enveloped viruses are hard to recognize and destroy
