Layers of bacteria over thousands of years. Sea water splashing on them so kept moist. Were the things that will kill bacteria. Always consist of a genetic material that is surrounded by a protein coat (various shape) Genetic material in a virus can be rna or dna not only dna or a single dna strand. Protein coat, protects the virus and used as recognition sites for cells. Reference h and n refers to the protein.
