There are many viruses with RNA. Here are a few examples: Ebola virus, HIV, and the viruses causing measles, mumps, polio, rabies, rubella, and yellow fever.
In the Baltimore classification of viruses, four of the seven major groups (classes III to VI) store their genetic information in RNA.

technically hat is not true because RNA viruses don't kill.

An agent that reproduces in cells but is not composed of cells and contains RNA as its genetic material is what?
A virus
What is the function of genetic material in a virus?
Viruses contain either DNA or RNA as their genetic material. Viruses containing RNA as their genetic material are called retrovirusesThe genome of a virus could either be:single or double stranded DNAsingle or double stranded RNA
What is genetic material package in?
An organism's genetic material is packaged in its chromosomes. The genetic material can be in the form of either DNA or RNA.
A virus that stores its genetic information as RNA is called?
It is called a Retrovirus HIV is an example of a Retrovirus
What kind of genetic material do viruses have?
The genetic material that viruses have is RNA. Viruses are unable to truly carry out the processes associated with holding their own DNA.
What is a virus that stores its genetic material as RNA called?
A virus that stores its genetic material as RNA is called a RETROVIRUS
Virus that have RNA as their genetic material are known as?
retroviruses
Which is genetic material in virus?
either DNA or RNA
Where is the genetic materials of a viral located?
Genetic material of a virus it can be DNA or RNA.
Genetic material of a virus?
Can be either DNA, or for retroviruses, RNA.
Why retro virus is RNA virus?
Because retro virus has only RNA as genetic material. Its replication is in reversal order known as Reverse Transcriptase.
West Nile virus-rna or DNA?
Ebola is a retrovirus so the genetic material is single-stranded RNA (ssRNA)
What does the viruses genetic material contain?
yes!Virus contains both DNA and RNAsome viruses contain RNA as their geneti information and are called retroviruses.when retroviruses infect a cell, they produce a DNA copy of their RNA.
An agent that reproduces in cells but is not composed of cells and contains RNA as its genetic material is what?
A virus
When human immunodeficiency virus HIV attaches to a host cell what genetic material is released into the cell's cytoplasm?
Within the HIV capsid is the genetic material RNA along with two reverse transcriptase enzymes to copy the RNA into DNA inside the invaded cell.
What is the structure of a virus cell?
The genetic material DNA, usually.Then there are retroviruses, but they have RNA genetic material, which cells use catalytically, among other uses. And bath types of viruses have protein in common with living cells.
What is the flow of genetic information used by retroviruses for AIDS?
AIDS virus belongs to retrovirus category. These type of virus has only RNA as genetic material. They depend on host cell's DNA to replicate.
