I have a question; would prokaryotic cells (cells without a nucleic membrane or a nucleus to contain the DNA stored in the cell) be more susceptible to retroviruses? Or do they not affect prokaryotic DNA as (as far as I know) it is a different shape (circular, if I recall correctly) than that of a eukaryotic cell? (Which has DNA as a double helix, with thymine, guanine, adenine, cytosine, and two "phosphodiester backbones".)
My "theory" is that since there is no nucleic membrane or nucleus to protect the DNA, it is more easily accessible to the retroviruses. If this is not true, then what about adenoviruses?
One thing I have learned about people on this forum is that no matter how nonsensical someone's "theory" is, you will try to correct them. I thank you for your time.
