Question

Do Viroids have protein?

Answer 1

Viroids:

1. Small, circular, single-stranded RNAs called viroids are contagious diseases.
2. Most of the work in cells is performed by complex molecules called proteins. They are crucial to the body's structure, operation, and regulation.
3. They don't have a protein coating like viruses do. All known viroids are angiosperm residents, and the majority of them cause diseases with vastly varying economic value to people.
4. Thus, Viroids lack protein.
