Is the virus a prokaryote?
Open in App
Solution
Virus:
These are the infectious microbes that can replicate only inside living cells by depending on their cellular machinery.
Viruses do not belong to either the prokaryote or eukaryote kingdoms.
Viruses are non-cellular and are classified as such because they cannot multiply or replicate outside of a living cell.
They are simply a complicated assembly of biomolecules such as nucleic acids and proteins that do not contain any biological components.
