Question

Viruses are made up of either dna or rna surrounded by a coating of protein. when the two main substances that make up a virus are broken into smaller fragments, these fragments are

Answer 1

The fragments that will be created may be determined by the macromolecules present. Protein molecules are composed of amino acids, so the breakdown of a virus's protein coat will yield fragments that are amino acids. Next, DNA and RNA are composed of ribose sugar and nucleic acids. So upon breakdown, they will produce these fragments.
