Answer:

VIRUS : A virus is the microscopic particle which is made up of protein coat and genetic material embedded in it, either DNA or RNA. A virus is capable to infect the other hosts to cause viral diseases. They infect the other host organism by attachment and release their genetic material in the host cell. Bacteria causing virus are called BACTERIOPHAGE.
