Solution

Virus core:

  1. Viruses are the smallest microbes on the planet.
  2. According to some estimates, 500 million rhinoviruses might fit on the tip of a pin.
  3. They're unique in that they can only exist and reproduce inside the cells of other living things.
  4. A virus is made up of a core of genetic information, usually DNA or RNA, that is protected by a capsid, a protein-based protective coating.
  5. Sometimes the envelope is present, which is a spiky coating that surrounds the capsid.
  6. Viruses have the ability to attach to and infiltrate host cells.
