Answer:

It's smaller than a virus and has no capsid. A viroid is a coiled, "naked" RNA molecule that can affect a cell. ... Prions (infectious protein particles) have neither DNA nor RNA to transmit infection. Not much is known about them, but we do know that a prion is an abnormal or mutated form of a usually harmless protein.

Answer:

Viroids are small, naked infectious RNA molecules. The term viroid was coined by T.O. Diener (1971) to describe the causal agent of the potato spindle tuber disease.

Prions are infectious protein particles causing neurological degenerative diseases in humans and animals. Stanley B. Prusiner discovered prions.
