3. Membrane proteins allow the virus to bind to its host and enter it.

Viroid

1 . Viroid is smaller than virus.

2. Viroid is single stranded covalently closed infectious RNA molecule without capsid.

3. They replicate by RNA-RNA transcription and lack protein coding.

4. Viroids only infect plants.

Answer 2

Answer:

short and long filaments particles with single_stranded RNA . Viroids differ from viruses both in their structure and their mode of replication while in the virion , Viral RNA is coated by capsid proteins, viroids are marked (non _ coated ) RNA molecules. Viroids RNA is ten times small -est viral RNA ....
