These types of viruses are known as retroviruses. Retroviruses such as (HIV) use RNA to house their genetic material, once they enter a host cell an enzyme known as reverse transriptase to turn the RNA into DNA so it may infect the DNA of the host cell.
Yellow fever is a single stranded RNA virus (ssRNA)
The influenza virus contains Both DNA and RNA.Its an exception.
Smallpox contains DNASmallpox is a virus, and therefore, can only have RNA or DNA. In the case of smallpox, it contains DNA. Viruses require a host to supply them with either RNA or DNA in order that more virus entities can be made.DNA
West Nile virus contains strands of RNA.
The H1N1 virus contains RNA as its genetic material. It is a single-stranded RNA virus that belongs to the family Orthomyxoviridae.
Yes.
dna or rna
The nucleic acid of a virus consists of either DNA or RNA, which contains the genetic information required for the virus to replicate and infect host cells. This genetic material directs the virus's metabolism and ability to hijack host cellular machinery for its own reproduction.
A retrovirus contains RNA as its genetic information. When a retrovirus infects a cell, it uses its own enzymes to produce DNA from its RNA. Then the DNA becomes part of the host cell's genome, and it will be transcribed and translated along with the host cell's DNA, thereby turning the cell into a virus factory. It is called a retrovirus because the original order of DNA ---> RNA ---> protein is reversed to RNA ---> DNA ---> RNA ---> protein.
It is called a Retrovirus HIV is an example of a Retrovirus
The difference between a common animal virus and a retrovirus is that a retrovirus only contains RNA while a common animal virus will have DNA or RNA.
It contains retroviruses, like HIV and it also contains RNA nucleic acids.
