What is the genetic material of a virus? How does that material act in viral reproduction?
There are DNA viruses (double strand or single strand DNA) and RNA viruses (double strand or single strand RNA too). Viruses inoculate their DNA or RNA molecules into cells and these cells (by means of transcription or reverse transcription and translation) synthesize proteins for the assembling of a new virus. This synthesis is commanded by the viral DNA or RNA molecules.
