|
The genetic material of viruses is located on multiple chromosomes, while bacteria have only one.

|
|
The genetic material of viruses always includes both DNA and RNA, while bacteria only have DNA.
|
|
|
Viruses have less genetic material and fewer genes than bacteria.
|
|
|
The genetic material of viruses is coiled, whereas the genetic material of bacteria is linear.

Detailed explanation-1: -Which of the following best describes the difference between the genetic material of viruses and bacteria? The genetic material of viruses is located on multiple chromosomes, while bacteria have only one.
Detailed explanation-2: -On a biological level, the main difference is that bacteria are free-living cells that can live inside or outside a body, while viruses are a non-living collection of molecules that need a host to survive.
Detailed explanation-3: -These include: Lack membrane-bound organelles-While bacteria have a few organelles involves in metabolism and reproduction, they, like viruses, do not have membrane-bound organelles. In viruses, the nucleic acid is not contained in a nucleus as is the case with eukaryotic cells.
Detailed explanation-4: -Virus genomes You, like all other cell-based life, use DNA as your genetic material. Viruses, on the other hand, may use either RNA or DNA, both of which are types of nucleic acid. We often think of DNA as double-stranded and RNA as single-stranded, since that’s typically the case in our own cells.
