Does Virus contain both DNA and RNA?
Viruses can contain either DNA or RNA, but not both. DNA viruses have genetic material made of DNA, while RNA viruses have genetic material made of RNA. Some viruses have single-stranded genetic material, while others have double-stranded genetic material.
Similarities between bacteria and virus?
Both bacteria and viruses are microscopic organisms that can cause infections in humans. They can both be transmitted through various means such as droplets, contaminated food or water, and direct contact. However, they differ in structure, with bacteria being single-celled organisms while viruses are inert genetic material that require a host cell to replicate.
Do both cells and viruses have genetic material?
Viruses do not contain DNA or RNA . . . they 'steal' those molecules from their host living cell.
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.
What characteristics structures or processes is common to both bacteria and viruses?
Respiration (for all living things). It can be oxidative or aerobic respiration (requiring oxygen and produces more energy) or anerobic respiration (no oxygen and produces less energy because it's less efficient). Photosynthesis (only in autotrophic organisms so living things that don't need to consume nutrients because they can make their own).
How bacteria and viruses are alike?
Both viruses and bacteria can cause diseases, reproduce, infect something, contain genetic material, and are single celled.
Is genetic material found in both cells and viruses?
Yes, both viruses and cells have DNA.
Viruses frequently infect bacteria and insert new genes into the genetic material of the bacteria When these infected bacteria reproduce asexually which genes would most likely be passed on?
The genes that are inserted by the virus into the bacteria's genetic material would most likely be passed on during asexual reproduction. This can lead to the spread of the viral genes to the bacteria's offspring.
What are the main differences between a virus and a bacteria which enable scientists to classify them?
Bacteria are single-celled organisms that can replicate themselves. By this, I mean that they have all the genetic material to replicate (DNA & RNA). Viruses, in contrast, contain a piece of genetic material that is encapsulated by a protein coat known as a capsid. Because viruses only have a portion of genetic material, they have to infect a host organism and inject its material into the host and use the host to do the work for the virus. Since bacteria can "live" on its own and viruses cannot, bacterial infections can be treated with medications while viral cannot. In comparison of size, viruses are about 100 times smaller than bacteria. About of 90% of known bacteria live in a symbiotic relationship with humans. This means that the presence of bacteria is beneficial to both the bacteria and humans. In comparison, most viruses feed of the host to produce more viruses... therefore having no benefit to the host.
What genetic material in viruses?
The hereditary material of viruses vary. Some viruses have DNA and some RNA. Viruses with RNA change, for example the flu, that's why we get a shot every year. The viruses with DNA don't change so that's why you need only one shot.
Does Virus contain both DNA and RNA?
Viruses can contain either DNA or RNA, but not both. DNA viruses have genetic material made of DNA, while RNA viruses have genetic material made of RNA. Some viruses have single-stranded genetic material, while others have double-stranded genetic material.

What are the similarities between bacteria viruses and yeast?
All three, viruses, protists, and bacteria, reproduce asexually. However, bacteria replicates through binary fission, while viruses reproduce through replication. Protists are also capable of reproducing sexually.
Do both cells and viruses have genetic material?
Viruses do not contain DNA or RNA . . . they 'steal' those molecules from their host living cell.
What molecule is used to store genetic information?
DNA stores genetic information but other molecule which also serve as genetic material is RNA which is found generally in plant viruses. So both DNA & RNA are genetic material. DNA stores genetic information but other molecule which also serve as genetic material is RNA which is found generally in plant viruses.
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
