Viruses: Origin, Hypothesis and Its Activities
Author(s): Padyashree kanungo*
Viruses are simple biological particles, consisting of a genome, a
protein capsid and, in the case of enveloped Viruses, an exterior
lipidic envelope. Due to the presence of envelope, most
enveloped Viruses are delicate although a few special exceptions
might be observed. Viruses act as complete intracellular
parasites. They increase results from the replication and selfgathering
of viral components, this process being coordinated by
the viral genome after it has been released inside a infected cell.
Virus classified depends on molecular properties, concerning
both the structure and replication plan of viruses. These
nomenclatures, sequential order levels are family, subfamily,
genus and species... View More»
