⭐HELLO BRAINLY USER⭐
⬇️HERE IS YOUR ANSWER⬇️

●Virus is an infective agent that typically consists of a nucleic acid molecule in a protein coat, is too small to be seen by light microscopy, and is able to multiply only within the living cells of a host.
●Characteristics of Viruses
•They are enclosed in a protective envelope.
•They have spikes, which helps them to attach to the host cell.
•They are non cellular.
•They do not respire, do not metabolize and do not grow but they do reproduce.
•They contain a protein coat called the capsid.
•They have a nucleic acid core containing DNA or RNA.
•They mutate very fast.
*Here is the peculiar feature which virus possesses*
●They are unique because they are only alive and able to multiply inside the cells of other living things. The cell they multiply in is called the host cell. A virus is made up of a core of genetic material, either DNA or RNA, surrounded by a protective coat called a capsid which is made up of protein.
