What is a virus made of?
As we all know from reading biology, viruses are composed of a protein shell and internal genetic material, including DNA and RNA.
Viruses are composed mainly of genetic material and proteins, a form of material between life and non-life, consisting of a genome of one or more nucleic acid molecules (DNA or RNA) with a protective outer shell of proteins or lipoproteins.
Because it has no cellular structure, the virus itself cannot be mimicked, so it needs to invade its genes into the host's cells and then mimic a new virus with the help of the latter's mimicry imitation system.
After the virus sample is collected, the sampled swab is preserved in a preservation solution or transported for study in order to keep the virus sample active and prolong the survival time of the virus.
