which statements about a virus are true and supported by evidence? select all that apply.
a virus can be treated with antibiotics
a virus does have genetic material (dna or rna)
a virus is not made up of cells
a virus needs energy
a virus can adapt and mutate
a virus has a protein capsid coat
a virus is able to grow and develop
Antibiotics target bacteria, not viruses. Viruses have genetic material (DNA or RNA), are acellular (not made of cells), can adapt and mutate, have a protein - capsid coat, and do not grow and develop in the traditional sense of living organisms. They also do not need energy in the same way as living cells.
