|
|
prokaryotic cells have less DNA than do eukaryotic cells.
|
|
|
Unlike eukaryotic cells, prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus.
|
|
|
The cell wall in prokaryotic cells is a less effective barrier.
|
|
|
The rapid growth of prokaryotic cells generates more viruses.
|
Detailed explanation-1: -Explanation: DNA in eukaryotic cells lies within the nucleus. This DNA has a membrane protecting it from the outside. This means that the virus will have a harder time at getting to the DNA to insert its own DNA into it.
Detailed explanation-2: -Why might it be simpler for these viruses to attack prokaryotic cells than eukaryotic cells? prokaryotic cells have less DNA than do eukaryotic cells. Unlike eukaryotic cells, prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus. The cell wall in prokaryotic cells is a less effective barrier.
Detailed explanation-3: -They are neither prokaryotes nor eukaryotes because they are not living. They cannot survive & reproduce outside a host’s body.
Detailed explanation-4: -Viruses can use either prokaryotes or eukaryotes, or both, as host cells. To do so, the virus injects its genetic material into the host, which then triggers the host to begin replicating the virus’s genetic material.
Detailed explanation-5: -Viruses can infect only certain species of hosts and only certain cells within that host. The molecular basis for this specificity is that a particular surface molecule, known as the viral receptor, must be found on the host cell surface for the virus to attach.
