About it
A virus is a tiny bundle of genes inside a shell of protein, usually smaller than a bacterium. It cannot grow or copy itself on its own: it has to get inside a living cell, which then makes new copies of it. The spikes on its shell help it latch on to the right kind of cell.
This one's spikes sway gently. Tap it and a wave ripples through them, and two smaller copies bud out from behind it, drift apart and fade away. Most viruses are so small that only an electron microscope can show them.
