Detailed explanation-1: -A virus is an infectious microbe consisting of a segment of nucleic acid (either DNA or RNA) surrounded by a protein coat. A virus cannot replicate alone; instead, it must infect cells and use components of the host cell to make copies of itself.
Detailed explanation-2: -A virus particle consists of DNA or RNA within a protective protein coat called a ca psid. The shape of the capsid may vary from one type of virus to another. The capsid is made from the proteins that are encoded by viral genes within their genome.
Detailed explanation-3: -Viruses are simple, and are made up of up to three constitutive elements: A genome, made up of nucleic acids that can be DNA (like humans) or RNA. RNA is very similar to DNA; both are made up of of chains of nucleotides (ACGT/U) that make up genes that are translated in proteins.
