Uncovering the Genetic and Replication Mechanisms of Viruses

Dear student,

Thank you for your question.

All viruses have an RNA or DNA genome. The genome is the genetic material that carries all the information necessary for the virus’s reproduction.

All viruses encode proteins. These proteins are necessary for the virus to replicate and infect host cells.

No viruses encode organelles or complex structures. They rely on host cells to provide the necessary resources for reproduction.

No viruses encode the necessary enzymes for replication. They use the host cell’s enzymes to replicate their genetic material and produce new virus particles.

I hope this helps. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
