Concept explainers
a.
To determine:
Whether DNA can be found in a virus, a cell, or both.
Introduction:
A virus is a small infectious agent that can’t be seen through the naked eyes. Viruses are made up of protein coat in which their genetic material is present. The viruses contain either double stranded or single stranded DNA or RNA as their genetic material.
b.
To determine:
Whether DNA polymerase can be found in a virus, a cell, or both.
Introduction:
A virus is a small infectious agent that can’t be seen through the naked eyes. Viruses are made up of protein coat in which their genetic material is present. The viruses contain either double stranded or single stranded DNA or RNA as their genetic material.
c.
To determine:
Whether capsid can be found in a virus, a cell, or both.
