At the very least, all viruses contain two components: the capsid (a protein shell), and a genome, consisting of either DNA or RNA. Some viruses also include accessory proteins to aid in infection, or a lipid bilayer to further protect their contents from the environment.atellite viruses are some of the smallest possible reproducing units in nature; they achieve this by relying on both the host cell and a host virus (in this case, TMV) for the machinery necessary for them to reproduce.
Confidence votes 277. Most viruses are composed of RNA. RNA is like a biochemical blueprint that tells cells cells what to do/make. Many viruses infiltrate your cells, tell them to work overtime, and have them make more copies of the same virus until they explode.The RNA is mainly composed of Ribose sugar, Nitrogenous base, and a phosphAte.irus contains both DNA and RNA some viruses contain RNA as their geneti information and are called retroviruses.when retroviruses infect a cell, they produce a DNA cop â¦ y of their RNA. 2 people found this useful.
