Answer:

True:

  • It can reproduce only within other cells.
  • Its hereditary material is in the form of a capsid.

Step-by-step explanation:

Viruses are neither unicellular nor multicellular, they are limited fragments of nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) covered within a protein coat called capsule or capside, inside this capsid is always the genetic material of the virus, they do not possess subcellular organelles and they depend on another prokaryotic or eukaryotic cell for their reproduction.
