Question

difference between virus and viriods​

Answer 1

Answer:

• Viroids are plant pathogens: small, single-stranded, circular RNA particles that are much simpler than a virus.
• They do not have a capsid or outer envelope, but, as with viruses, can reproduce only within a host cell.
• Viroids do not, however, manufacture any proteins.
• They produce only a single, specific RNA molecule.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Viruses (Virus particles or virions) are usually units consisting of nucleic acids and coat proteins called capsids. Viroids consist only of RNA, i.e. they contain no protein at all.
