Question

naked capsid animal viruses gain entry to host cells by  How do they acquire an envelope?  How does the replication cycle of DNA and RNA-containing animal viruses  differ?

Expert · Accepted Answer

1. What is a virus? Composition and general characteristics.   Viruses contain a single type of nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) and a protein coat, sometimes enclosed by an envelope composed of lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates. They are obligatory intracellular parasites (meaning they  require living host cells to multiply). They multiply by using the host cell synthesizing machinery to cause the synthesis of specialized elements that can transfer the viral nucleic acid to other cells.      2. What are the differences between viruses and other acellular agents, prions,        viruses and viroids.  Viruses infect living cells and once inside, transform the cell essentially into a  factory for making more viruses. These acellular particles are c
