irga5000 [103]

Answer:

The correct option is C. A virus contains RNA or DNA in a protein coat.

Explanation:

Viruses can be described as tiny particles which are able to incorporate their genetic material into a host. Many viruses can be destructive to the host cells.

The structure of a virus includes DNA or RNA which is enclosed in a structure known as an envelope or capsid. The envelope or capsid is made up of proteins. Some viruses also have a tail.

eimsori [14]

Answer:

D. all of the above​

Explanation:

Biome refers to a large and relatively distinct terrestrial region having similar climatic conditions regardless of where it occurs on Earth. The characteristic climatic conditions (temperature and precipitation being the most important ones) and soil type of each biome type determine the type of plant species found there. Therefore, each biome is characterized by specific flora.  

For example, a desert biome is a temperate or tropical biome characterized by a lack of precipitation, seasonal variations in temperature and poor soil type with low organic matter that limits plant growth. Desert biomes have only the plant species that can survive these harsh conditions.
