Viruses use their DNA or RNA to replicate themselves within a host cell. They hijack the cell's machinery to make copies of their genetic material and produce new virus particles, which can then infect other cells. This leads to the spread of the virus within the host and potentially to other individuals.
What else can I help you with?
Is there anything that does not contain DNA?
Yes. Anything that isn't an organism will not contain DNA. For example, rocks do not have DNA. Additionally, some viruses have RNA instead of DNA although viruses would be covered by the first category mentioned.
Are DNA genomes found in all organisms and viruses?
yes, but many viruses do not have DNA genome, but RNA genome.
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 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 are viruses genetic materia?
Viruses contain either DNA or RNA.
How does viruses classificate?
DNA and RNA viruses.

What is one property of viruses that make it to cure viral infections?
The ability of viruses to hide in the host's DNA. The fact that viruses can hide very well inside your dna.
What is the difference between DNA viruses and RNA viruses?
There are several differences for example; most DNA viruses use the DNA polymerases of of the host cell to synthesize new genomes along the templates provided by the viral DNA, in contrast to replicate their genomes, RNA viruses use virally encoded polymerases that can use RNA as a template. RNA viruses usually retain their RNA within capsids, whilst DNA viruses are less "packaged" usually retained within say a head, or a capsomere. The main difference of course, is that DNA viruses contain either a doubled stranded DNA (dsDNA) or a single stranded (ssDNA), and RNA viruses contain dsRNA or ssRNA. There are of course several other differences, but these are the ones I know of.
Do viruses have circular DNA?
Some viruses have circular DNA genomes while others have linear DNA genomes. The shape and structure of viral DNA can vary depending on the type of virus.
What inserts DNA into bacteria?
Viruses
What kind of genetic material do viruses have?
The genetic material that viruses have is RNA. Viruses are unable to truly carry out the processes associated with holding their own DNA.
