Does RNA virus have Reverse transcriptases in them?
The RNA viruses that contain reverse transcriptases are collectively called retroviruses among which are: HIV, human immunodeficiency virus (AIDS); RNA tumor viruses (leukemia)
What is the different between papilloma tumors and papilloma virus skin tumors?
A papilloma tumor is a small benign epithelial tumor, such as a wart, consisting of an overgrowth of cells on a core of smooth connective tissue. A papilloma virus skin tumor is a wart caused by the human papilloma virus, usually found around the genitals on sexually active individuals.
What has the author Blossom Damania written?
Blossom Damania has written: 'DNA tumor viruses' -- subject(s): Oncogenic DNA viruses, DNA Tumor Viruses, Tumor Virus Infections, Pathogenicity
Do tumor viruses contain genes found in normal cells?
Yes, tumor viruses can contain genes found in normal cells. Some tumor viruses are able to integrate their genetic material into the host cell's genome, which can disrupt normal cellular functions and lead to uncontrolled cell division and tumor formation.
Can tumor viruses affect flower color patterns?
No, tumor viruses do not affect flower color patterns. Tumor viruses primarily infect plants and cause abnormal cell growth, but they do not influence the pigment production that determines flower color patterns. Flower color patterns are typically determined by genetic factors and environmental conditions.
Does the color of the flower be caused by the tumor viruses?
There are plant viruses that cause strange color patterns. Tulips can get tulip color breaking virus.
What are oncogenes and how do they affect the cell cycle?
The region of the viral genome (DNA in DNA tumor-viruses or RNA in RNA-tumor viruses) that can cause a tumor is called an oncogene. This foreign gene can be carried into a cell by the virus and cause the host cell to take on new properties such as immortalization and anchorage-independent growth.
Is there a link between viruses and the development of cancer?
Yes, there is a link between certain viruses and the development of cancer. Some viruses, known as oncogenic or cancer-causing viruses, can interfere with normal cell processes, leading to uncontrolled cell growth and tumor formation. Examples include human papillomavirus (HPV), which is associated with cervical cancer, and hepatitis B and C viruses, which can lead to liver cancer. These viruses can alter the host's genetic material, promoting malignancy.
Do tumor viruses contain genes that are found in normal cells?
not in all cases, however, but yes
What does it mean when a tumor is benign?
When a tumor is benign, it means that it does not have the ability to invade the other cells in the body. Moles and warts are examples of such tumors.

What are two retroviruses?
classification of retrovirus:1. retro (backwards, RNA → DNA → RNA → polypeptide) 2. onco (tumor)3. spuma (form foam)4. lenti (slow)envelope of retrovirus consists of: (2)1. GP41 - transmembrane protein 2. GP120 - surface membrane protein*GP = glycoprotein
