The capsomere is made up of small protein subunits called capsids. - Viruses replicate or multiply only within living cells. Some species of the virus also contain.

Viruses can either have DNA-based genetic material or RNA-based genetic material. Many viruses attach to their host cells to facilitate penetration of the cell membrane allowing their replication inside the cell. The following points highlight the four main Components of Viruses.

All viruses are encased in a viral membraneb. Protrude from the envelope. Viruses have several common characteristics.

Symptoms including a high fever headaches and body aches typically occur two to seven days after infection by the virus. Virus contains either DNA or RNA as genetic material but not both. The genetic material of viruses include single or double stranded DNA or single or double stranded RNA that contains all the genetic.

The capsomere is made up of small protein subunits called capsids. Glycoproteins help the virus attach to the host cell. DNA is the genetic material in all virusesd.

The virus core contains the genome or total genetic content of the virus. They are classified as obligate intracellular parasites which require a host organism to function. Viruses are acellular non-living organisms.

For propagation viruses depend on specialized host cells supplying the. Glycoproteins help the virus attach to the host cell. The virus capsid functions to protect the nucleic acid from the environment and some viruses surround their capsid with a membrane envelope.

Viruses may be viewed as mobile genetic elements most probably of cellular origin and characterized by a long co-evolution of virus and host. All viruses are encased in a viral membrane The capsomere is made up of small protein subunits called capsids. A photograph of a virus is shown.

Glycoproteins help the virus attach to the host cell. Viruses can be defines as small infectious inert agents that get active inside the living host cells. A capsid and genetic material.

It may be linear or circular with various degrees of coiling. In some cases the capsid is surrounded by an envelope which is usually a bilayer of glycoprotein and lipoproteins. All viruses are encased in a viral membrane.
