|
|
Nucleic Acids and Proteins
|
|
|
Proteins and Bacteriophages
|
|
|
Proteins and Capsids
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Viral Structure. In the simpler viruses the virion consists of a single molecule of nucleic acid surrounded by a protein coat, the capsid; the capsid and its enclosed nucleic acid together constitute the nucleocapsid.
Detailed explanation-2: -Therefore, each virus has a way of both replicating and expressing its nucleic acid; these strategies exploit the tools available within the susceptible host cell.
Detailed explanation-3: -Viruses are bundles of nucleic acid-DNA or RNA-that are enclosed by a protein shell known as a capsid. By some measures the most abundant life form on earth, 1 viruses lurk everywhere; experts estimate that they are 10 times more numerous than bacteria.
