Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Only viruses have RNA or DNA enclosed in protein. Viroids are simply RNA molecules and prions are protein molecules. Phages are viruses that specifically infect bacteria, but they also have RNA or DNA enclosed in protein. However, "virus" is a more general term that encompasses all types of viruses, including phages. Virions are simply complete virus particles.
