How do animal viruses differ from bacterial viruses?
retro virus = any of a family of single-stranded RNA viruses having a helical envelope and containing an enzyme that allows for a reversal of genetic transcription, from RNA to DNA rather than the usual DNA to RNA, the newly transcribed viral DNA being incorporated into the host cell's DNA strand for the production of new RNA retroviruses: the family includes the AIDS virus and certain oncogene-carrying viruses implicated in various cancers.
Is H1N1 influenza a retrovirus?
No it is not. Retroviruses are RNA viruses that can change their RNA into DNA for cell infection (example HIV). Influenza viruses are also RNA viruses, but they do not transcribe the RNA into DNA. Some people think the R in RNA stands for retrovirus, but it stands for ribonucleic acid.
Is bacterial meningitis DNA or RNA?
Your question makes no sense. Bacterial meningitis is a bacterial infection of the meninges, the membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord. DNA and RNA are both molecules that code the structure and function of cells.
Are enteroviruses RNA viruses?
Yes, enteroviruses are RNA viruses belonging to the Picornaviridae family. Their genome is composed of single-stranded RNA.
What viruses have Rna in their core rather than Dna?
They are called Rna viruses. Rna retro-viruses are a different and somewhat more complex matter.
What are the 10 disease caused by RNA and DNA virus in bacteria?
Bacteria can be infected by bacteriophages, which are viruses that specifically target bacterial cells. RNA viruses affecting bacteria include the bacteriophage MS2, which can cause issues in E. coli, and the bacteriophage Qβ. DNA viruses include bacteriophages such as Lambda and T4, which can lead to lytic and lysogenic infections in their bacterial hosts. Other notable bacteriophages include T7, M13, and P1, all of which can contribute to various bacterial diseases by disrupting normal cellular functions.
What is the difference between DNA viruses and RNA viruses?
There are several differences for example; most DNA viruses use the DNA polymerases of of the host cell to synthesize new genomes along the templates provided by the viral DNA, in contrast to replicate their genomes, RNA viruses use virally encoded polymerases that can use RNA as a template. RNA viruses usually retain their RNA within capsids, whilst DNA viruses are less "packaged" usually retained within say a head, or a capsomere. The main difference of course, is that DNA viruses contain either a doubled stranded DNA (dsDNA) or a single stranded (ssDNA), and RNA viruses contain dsRNA or ssRNA. There are of course several other differences, but these are the ones I know of.
What genetic material in viruses?
The hereditary material of viruses vary. Some viruses have DNA and some RNA. Viruses with RNA change, for example the flu, that's why we get a shot every year. The viruses with DNA don't change so that's why you need only one shot.
How does viruses classificate?
DNA and RNA viruses.
Does viruses contain RNA?
Some viruses contain RNA; these are known as retroviruses. Others contain DNA.
What virus employs the use of an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase?
+RNA viruses
How do viruses get into bacterial cell?
A virus has proteins on its capsid that bind to living host cell. Once the virus has attached it enters the cell or inserts DNA/RNA into the cell.
