Viruses - They are non cellular parasites which self replicates when inside a host.
They only contain a protein coat.
They can have single stranded dna, rna or double stranded dna.
They mostly infect animals.
Viroids - They are also non cellular parasites. But they do not contain a protein coating and self replicate inside the host.
They can only have single stranded rna which is much smaller than that of the virus.
They mostly infect plants.
