The function of a capsid‚ in virus biology‚ is to serve as a protective outer layer that protects the genetic material of the virus from the host’s defensive cells. The capsid is made up of proteins. The nucleic acid is what is contained within the capsid‚ which is a group of long‚ linear macromolecules‚ consisting of either DNA or RNA. There are two different cycles in which the virus uses a host cell to replicate and reproduce itself. These two cycles are known as the lytic cycle‚ and the lysogenic
