Virtual machines

I have a question about virtual machines.

If I run a Windows 7 or 10 virtual machine inside a Linux host, will the Windows machine inherit the security of the Linux host, or should I take all the security measures in Windows just like a hardware machine?

What if I run Linux virtual machine on a Windows host, does it inherit the vulnerabilities of the Windows host?

Thanks.
