Question #15107

Does a virus contain a universal genetic code?

Expert's answer

Genetic code works the same in organisms of different levels of complexity - from viruses to humans (genetic engineering is based on this). So, viruses use a universal genetic code. Virus particles (known as virions) consist the genetic material made from either DNA or RNA, long molecules that carry genetic information.
