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 is a virus that attacks bacteria?
A bacteriophage: It literally means bacteria + to eat; these viruses were discovered to generate regions of clear plaques with no bacterial growth when placed on an agar plate covered by a lawn of bacteria.
True or False. Viruses and bacteria are radically different?
True. Viruses are not considered alive and require a host cell to replicate, while bacteria are single-celled organisms capable of independent replication. Additionally, viruses contain genetic material either in the form of DNA or RNA, whereas bacteria have their genetic material in the form of DNA.
Does Bacteria have viruses?
Yes, bacteria can be infected by viruses called bacteriophages. Bacteriophages are specific to infecting bacteria and can inject their genetic material into a bacterial cell, causing it to replicate and produce more viruses. This process eventually leads to the lysis, or bursting, of the bacterial cell, releasing more viruses to infect other bacteria.
What is on kind of microbe that attacks body cells called?
A microbe that attacks body cells is called a pathogen. Pathogens can include viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites that invade host cells and cause diseases.
Do viruses and bacteria contain chlorophyll?
viruses: neverbacteria: most no, some yes
Do bacteria and virous have a nucleus?
Both bacteria and viruses are prokaryotic, which means they do not contain a nucleus. Both viruses and bacterium are not cells.
What are the smilarities between bacteria and viruses?
bacteria causes viruses 2nd Answer: My apologies, but the first answer is totally untrue. Both bacteria and viruses can cause disease, but bacteria are alive, and viruses are not. They both contain RNA/DNA to assure they are replicated correctly.
Why do bacteria naturally contain restriction enzymes?
Restriction enzymes are the bacteria's form of an 'immune system' against viruses (which can infect bacteria). When viruses try to insert their own DNA into a bacteria's genome, the restriction enzymes detect this foreign DNA and cut it out so that the viruses can't replicate and kill the cell.
What is the shape of virus that attacks bacteria?
The shape of a virus that attacks bacteria is typically cylindrical or polyhedral. These viruses that infect bacteria are known as bacteriophages and come in various shapes and sizes.
How bacteria and viruses are alike?
Both viruses and bacteria can cause diseases, reproduce, infect something, contain genetic material, and are single celled.
Why do antibodies work to kill bacteria but not viruses?
bacteria is complit cell or contain cellular material hence specific antibody riquar as compair to virus is difrance
These organisms are usaully too small for you to see directly?
Cells, Bacteria, and Viruses
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.
Does chapped skin contain minute breaks that can allow bacteria and viruses to enter?
Yes
What shape are viruses that attack bacteria?
A virus that attacks bacteria is called a "Bacteriophage"
What are the differences between viruses and bacteria?
Bacteria: Bacteria can be killed by antibiotics. Bacteria is larger. Bacteria can reproduce from the life cycle. Viruses: Viruses cant be killed by antibiotics. Viruses are smaller than bacteria. Viruses cant reproduce without help from a host cell or organism.
