Portage Microbiology BIOD171 Exam 6 Questions and Answers 2024 True or False. Because the genome is contained within an enclosed space (much like the nucleus of a cell), viruses are classified as eukaryotic. -Answer-False. Viruses are neither eukaryotic nor prokaryotic. Describe the two basic components of a virus. -Answer-A virus has (1) genomic material comprised of either DNA or RNA and (2) a capsid, a membrane-like protective structure that contains the genetic material, similar to th...
