Corona virus is a pandemic disease that’s life threatening and is affecting the population world-wide. In order to establish vast numbers of people exposed by the virus of COVID-19 in the North-West (NW) Province population. The next generation sequencing (NGS) technology application can be employed to study the vast number of cases and the distribution of the disease. This is based on the assumption that corona virus can be cultured in cell culture in the laboratory. i) Which phylum of archaeal belongs to the group II and cannot be cultured in the lab, and why is that so? Mention the common habitant of this phylum

Viral Replication

The virus is acellular and considered non-living outside the host cell. The replication of the virus occurs only inside the living cells. Only a few genes are present in the smallest virus, whereas many genes are present in the largest virus. These genes encode specific viral proteins.
