2 parts of a virus?
Genetic material (DNA or RNA): Viruses contain either DNA or RNA as their genetic material, which carries instructions for their replication inside host cells. Protein coat (capsid): Viruses have a protein coat called a capsid that surrounds and protects their genetic material, helping them to infect host cells and replicate.
What did the hershey-chase blender experiment help prove?
The Hershey-Chase blender experiment helped prove that DNA, not protein, is the genetic material of a bacteriophage. By using radioactive labeling, they were able to track the transmission of genetic material from the virus to the infected bacteria, showing that it was the DNA and not the protein coat that carried the genetic information.
What is the term used for genetic material which lies in the cytoplasm and not covered by any envelope?

What is a virus surrounded by?
The nucleic acid of a virus is covered by a protein capsid.
Can eukaryotes have DNA as their genetic material?
Yes, eukaryotes have a nucleus which contains the genetic materials such as DNA and other protein complexes.
Is the genetic material in a virus inside or outside the protein parts?
Inside the protein part... The genetic material is sorrounded by the protein :):)
How is the the genetic material used to make a protein?
genetic material is a cell that can be turn into a amino acid to a protein.
Is the genetic material in a virus inside or outside the proteins parts?
Inside the protein part... The genetic material is sorrounded by the protein :):)
What is the antonym for genetic material?
The protein sequence.
Who determines the genetic material used to make a protein?
scientists

When the genetic material was first being isolated and studied there was a controversy about it being DNA or protein-- those that backed protein as the genetic material almost got it right-- explain?
Scientists thought genetic material was a protein not DNA because there are 20 different amino acids for a building of a protein polymer, while DNA polymers only have 4 nucleotide bases.

By using radioactive labeling, they were able to track the transmission of genetic material from the virus to the infected bacteria, showing that it was the DNA and not the protein coat that carried the genetic information.
What two things does every virus have?
Every virus has genetic material (DNA or RNA) and a protein coat (capsid) that protects the genetic material.
A tiny fragment of genetic material wrapped inside a capsul of protein is called what?
Protective protein coat
Many scientists think genetic material was composed of protein because?
Protein was originally thought to be the genetic material because of its complexity, protein is made up 20 different amino acids while DNA only consists of four bases. This was logical as the complexity would account for diversity in organisms. But after more research was done it was realized that DNA was actually the genetic material.
What macromolecules that function as the genetic material and are involved in protein systhesis are?
nucleic acids
