Best Answer

Viruses are one of the most common living thing in the world, and most of them have positive or neutral effects on any specific species.

They are important in the growing world of genetic modification because scientists can use their native capacity to penetrate the cells to deliver genetic material into cells while causing little harm.

No, not all viruses are bad. Some viruses can be beneficial, such as those used in genetic engineering or in fighting bacterial infections. Additionally, certain viruses play important roles in ecological systems by controlling the population of certain species.

Is a virus or bacterium larger?

A bacterial cell is a single-celled organism, but a virus is just a protein wall containing DNA or RNA, which it injects into the nucleus of a cell to cause it to start replicating the virus's NA rather than the cell's own. Bacteria are large enough to be seen with optical microscopes, but virus's are so small they weren't discovered until electron microscopes came along. Bacteria are alive and virus's are not. Bacteria can be killed and therefor cured. Virus's live in the blood and they can be treated but not cured and it could always show itself again. bacteria are cellular form of life, bacteria can be good or bad. Good bacteria in intestines which help digestion, bad bacteria such as pathogens are able to reproduce on their own. Virus's are pathogenic, virus's are not cells, and they reproduce by taking over cells.
