A
needs host to replicate
3
Q
nuclei acid in virus
A
either RNA or DNA
stores genetic information coding for viral protein components

Q
capsid in virus
A
protein coat that surrounds/encloses the nucleic acid
protects viral genome from damage

spike protein
A
glycoprotein on the lipid envelope
facilitates attachment to host cells receptors for entry
