Yes, many viruses are composed of two main parts: the genetic material and the protein coat. The genetic material can be either DNA or RNA, which carries the instructions for replication and infection. The protein coat, or capsid, protects the genetic material and helps the virus attach to and enter host cells. Some viruses also have an additional lipid envelope derived from the host cell membrane.

In a typical virus, the two main structural parts are the capsid and the viral genome. The capsid is a protein shell that encases and protects the viral genome, ensuring its stability and facilitating the virus's entry into host cells. The viral genome, which can be composed of DNA or RNA, carries the genetic information necessary for the virus to replicate and produce new viral particles once inside a host. Together, these components enable the virus to infect host cells and propagate.
A virus is a microscopic agent that is not cellular and is composed of nucleic acid surrounded by a protein coat.
The word you are looking for is "bipartite." This term describes something that is divided or composed of two parts.
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. Some enveloped viruses include norovirus (stomach bug), rotavirus and human papillomavirus (HPV). The envelope can be damaged by freezing temperatures, chlorine, and phenol. If damaged the virus cannot infect.

If it consists only of these two components it is a virus.
The components of a virus that is injected into the infected cell is either the RNA or DNA. A virus is composed of two parts a nucleic acid part and a protein part.

All viruses are composed of genetic material (either DNA or RNA) encased in a protein coat called a capsid. Some viruses also have an outer lipid envelope derived from the host cell membrane.

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.
