Question

cells differ from viruses in that only cells - use genetic material. are microscopic structures. contain cytoplasm. have protective covering.

Explanation:

Both cells and viruses can have genetic material (DNA or RNA), both are microscopic, and both can have protective coverings (cell membrane in cells, capsid in viruses). However, only cells contain cytoplasm, which is the jelly - like substance inside the cell where many cellular processes occur and where organelles are suspended. Viruses are acellular and do not have cytoplasm.

Answer:

contain cytoplasm.
