Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The simplest virions consist of two basic components: nucleic acid (single-or double-stranded RNA or DNA) and a protein coat, the capsid, which functions as a shell to protect the viral genome from nucleases and which during infection attaches the virion to specific receptors exposed on the prospective host cell.
Detailed explanation-2: -A virus is made up of genetic code surrounded by a protein coat. They are the most common biological entities on Earth, outnumbering bacteria 10 to 1.
Detailed explanation-3: -Viruses are smaller and simpler in construction than unicellular microorganisms, and they contain only one type of nucleic acid-either DNA or RNA-never both.
