Viruses are genetic material inside a protein coat. To be more specific, there is a caspid, and some viruses can have an envelope which is outside of the capsid. It is interesting to know that viruses are actually not alive, not like bacteria. They contain DNA and RNA. Bacteriophage, is the process of viruses infecting bacteria. There are fiive phases of virus replikcation. The first is attachment, in which the virus attaches to host. The second is entry, when the viral genetic material enters the host. Thirdly, there is the synthesis of new viral particles, it uses host machinery to build new viral genetic mterial and protein coats. Almost there, but second lastly, assembly of viral particles. and lastly, there is an explosion, which is a burse/release from the host
