Detailed explanation-1: -Genetic information in bacteria and many viruses is encoded in DNA, but some viruses use RNA.
Detailed explanation-2: -Thus, bacteria and viruses both contain nucleic acids in their genetic material.
Detailed explanation-3: -Bacterial and viral infections have many things in common. Both types of infections are caused by microbes (bacteria and viruses) and are spread by things such as coughing and sneezing, contact with infected people, surfaces, food, water, pets, livestock, or insects such as fleas and ticks.
Detailed explanation-4: -All viruses have genetic material (a genome) made of nucleic acid. 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.
Detailed explanation-5: -Concept 18 Bacteria and viruses have DNA too. However, there was debate about whether bacteria had genes and what attributes they may have in common with higher life forms.
