What is an infectious agent that consists of a small strand of RNA and that causes disease in plants?
A viroid is an infectious agent that consists of a small strand of RNA and that causes disease in plants.
A disease causing particle made of RNA without a capsid is called?
A Prion. It transmits a mis-folded protein state, and replicates by causing the host's proteins to replicate into its mis-folded pattern. Mad Cow disease is an example of a prion.
Which type of microrganisim is the smallest?
A prion is a small infectious particle that contains a misfolded protein. These contain no DNA or RNA. These cause Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, Scrapie in sheep and Kuru. These are deadly and progressive nerve wasting diseases.A plant pathologist discovered an infectious RNA particle smaller than a virus that causes diseases in plants. He called it a viroid. Millions each year are lost by these viroids. These contain only RNA.These two are the smallest infectious particles. They are not called microorganisms because they are not alive any more than viruses are.
Which organelle is a small particle of RNA and protein?
Sounds as if you are speaking of the ribosomes.
Are prions just viruses that lack a capsid?
A prion is a small infectious particle that contains a protein. These contain no DNA or RNA. These cause Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, Scrapie in sheep and Kuru. These are deadly and progressive nerve wasting diseases.
What is an infectious agent that consists of a small strand of RNA and that causes disease in plants?
A viroid is an infectious agent that consists of a small strand of RNA and that causes disease in plants.
Nonliving particle that causes disease?
A prion.
What causes an RNA-based disease to spread through pollen?
Viroids, they are they are passed through pollen.
What form of RNA forms a particle where proteins are assembled?
This catalytic form of RNA is called ribosomal RNA, rRNA.
A disease causing particle made of RNA without a capsid is called?
A Prion. It transmits a mis-folded protein state, and replicates by causing the host's proteins to replicate into its mis-folded pattern. Mad Cow disease is an example of a prion.
What disease is caused by an RNA virus?
Rabies is caused by RNA virus.
What type of organism causes polio?
Polio is a word that can mean one of two things, the virus or the disease The Polio disease which you are referring to is called poliomyelitis. The organism that causes it is a viral organism (virus). The name of the virus that causes poliomyelitis (polio disease) is called Poliovirus. The virus is a normal RNA virus from the Picornaviridae and genus enterovirus family.

What does some disease causing viruses have instead of DNA?
Some disease-causing viruses have RNA instead of DNA as their genetic material. RNA viruses include the influenza virus, HIV, and the common cold virus.
What are viruses without a nucleus called?
A prion is a small infectious particle that contains a protein. These contain no DNA or RNA. These cause Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, Scrapie in sheep and Kuru. These are deadly and progressive nerve wasting diseases.
What small particle of RNA and protein and produces protein follows instructions from the nucleus?
Ribosome
