state that all viruses are non-cellular structures with a nucleic acid core (either DNA or RNA) and a capsid made of protein, and that some viruses have an outer envelope made of phospholipids
outline how viruses are classified, limited to the type of nucleic acid (RNA or DNA) and whether this is single stranded or double stranded
describe how the information in DNA is used during transcription and translation to construct polypeptides, including the roles of: • RNA polymerase • messenger RNA (mRNA) • codons • transfer RNA (tRNA) • anticodons • ribosomes
