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.

How does a DNA vaccine prevent future disease?

A DNA vaccine contains DNA from a pathogen but cannot cause disease. When the vaccine is injected into a patient, the DNA directs the synthesis of a protein. Antibodies are produced by the body against the protein. If the patient contracts the disease in the future, the antibodies in his or her body will be able to provide protection.
