Question

What is the function of viral nucleic acid?

Answer 1

Nucleic acids are important because they make up genetic information in living things. There are two types of nucleic acid and they are DNA and RNA. DNA is the basic instructions for living things. It is passed down from parent to offspring and is found in the nucleus of the cell.

Answer 2

The viral nucleic acid (Either DNA or RNA) has the genetic codes for the synthesis of proteins to produce new viruses, i.e, virus' s genome.

When a virus finds a host cell, the nucleic acid is injected into the host cell.

The viral nucleic acid invades the nucleus and instructs the cell to make proteins which are assembled to produce further virus cell.
