The chemical component that is invariably found in all viruses is (1) proteins (2) lipids (3) DNA (4) RNA

1 Answer

Answer :

(1) proteins Explanation: All viruses contain the following two components: a nucleic acid genome and a protein capsid that covers the genome. Together this is called the nucleocapsid. The proteinous coat surrounds and protects the genetic material. In addition, many animal viruses contain a lipid envelope. The entire intact virus is called the virion.
