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.
