consist of a central core of nucleic acid
and protienaceous coat which sround the nucleic acid.
In viruses either DNA or RNA is present.In it RNA or DNA are linear or
circular in shape .Protien coat or capsid is made up of many structural
identical units called capsomeres.Composition ,number and structure of
viruses are different from each other .The capsids with its nucleic acid
called Nucleicapsid of the virus.In some mammalian viruses limiting membrane
is present outside the membrane. limiting membrane is made up of
