What genetic material is in both viruses and bacteria?
Both viruses and bacteria contain genetic material in the form of DNA or RNA. Viruses can have either DNA or RNA as their genetic material, while bacteria typically have DNA as their genetic material.
What are viruses genetic materia?
Viruses contain either DNA or RNA.
What features are found in both cells and viruses?
Not all cells have organelles; only eukaryotic cells do. Viruses, likewise, are not eukaryotic cells and thus, have no organelles. Viruses are generally very small particles many orders of magnitude smaller than the smallest cell. In short, viruses have no organelles, so your question is nonsensical.
How are viruses similar to single celled organisms?
They have genetic material surrounded by a protein capsid which can have a membranous layer. Some have reverse transcriptase enzymes. The comparison ends there. Viruses do not metabolize nutrients, do not grow and do not reproduce.
What are two types of virisus?
Two types of viruses are DNA viruses, which have genetic material made of DNA, and RNA viruses, which have genetic material made of RNA. DNA viruses typically replicate in the host cell's nucleus, while RNA viruses typically replicate in the host cell's cytoplasm.
What part of a virus contains the instructions for making new viruses?
They are in their genetic materials. They have either DNA or RNA
When a virus infects a bacterium what does the virus inject into the cell?
It's genetic material and some enzymes sometimes which hijack the bacteria into making more viruses.
What characteristics of a virus?
Viruses multiply within the host cells and give rise to the same genetic types. Viruses show extremely specific intracellular parasitism. They can easily be crystallized and precipitated. Viruses have no cytoplasm,nucleus,membranes,ribosomes,enzymes etc.
What are two good genetic materials?
I think the two types of genetic materials are the DNA & RNA. DNA is seen in humans mammals and almost all other organisms but RNA is seen in some viruses like TMV.
What is an antigenic shift?
influenza A viruses can trade genetic materials with the viruses of other species. Two different strains trade or merge material, a process known as an antigenic shift.
What is the pathogen attacks specific cells and injects genetic materials?
Viruses attach specific cells and inject genetic material. There are viruses called bacteriophages that infect bacteria be injecting their genetic material into the bacterial host and invading their protein machinery. With animal viruses that infect animal cells (much larger than bacteria), the virus either injects genetic material OR gets into the cell whole before it begins to unleash its pathogenic effects
Viruses consist of a protein coat around?
A plasmid (loop) of DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) and an assortment of enzymes and viral proteins.
What are the two methods of viruses replication?
The only way viruses can replicate is by parasitizing living cells and using the cell's mechanisms to replicate their genetic materials and protein components.
What genetic material is in both viruses and bacteria?
Both viruses and bacteria contain genetic material in the form of DNA or RNA. Viruses can have either DNA or RNA as their genetic material, while bacteria typically have DNA as their genetic material.
What are viruses genetic materia?
Viruses contain either DNA or RNA.
Which characteristic applies to all three domain and viruses?
They all have a nucleic acid genetic code, weather it is DNA or RNA can vary but, it is always nucleic acids. They have genetic material. ---- Novanet
What keeps cold germs alive and what do they live on?
Cold germs are viruses which are not alive like bacteria and some other germs are. Viruses are essentially a group of chemicals, proteins, and genetic materials that work together as an infectious organism. They can only function inside a host animal or plant and they use the materials and actions of the invaded cells of the host to replicate themselves. So the thing that keeps the cold viruses "alive" and provides the viruses with the materials they need to replicate, is the host.
