Question

Give reason-why are viruses called infeilious nucleoprotein particles

Answer 1

Explanation:

Why are viruses called infectious nucleoproteins

Because they are covered by a covering called capsid and has infectious DNA or RNA which causes viral infection

Nucleoprotein, conjugated proteinconsisting of a protein linked to anucleic acid, either DNA or RNA(ribonucleic acid). The protein combined with DNA is commonly either histone or protamine, the resulting nucleoproteins are found in chromosomes.

some viruses are little more than organized collections of DNA protiens. Little is known about the proteins linked with RNA, unlike protamine and histone, they appear to contain theamino acid tryptophan.that's why some of viruses are known as nucleoproteins

plz mark me as brain.lyst

Answer 2

Explanation:

Some viruses are simple ribonucleoproteins, containing only one molecule of RNA and a number of identical protein molecules. Others are ribonucleoprotein or deoxyribonucleoprotein complexes containing a number of different proteins, and exceptionally more nucleic acid molecules.
