IS HPV single or double stranded?
circular double stranded DNA protected by capsid proteins
What are the two types of nucleic acids viruses may have?
Viruses can have either DNA or RNA (a virus will never have both at the same time, although some viruses can have each one separately at different stages of their life cycles). RNA viruses are much more common than DNA viruses.
What is made of genetic material inside a protein coat?
A virus.Some viruses have double-stranded DNA, some have single-stranded. There are also viruses that carry their genetic information in RNA, some double-stranded, some single.
What are viral genomes composed of?
Viruses have the largest amount of genomic diversity of any group known to biology. Generally they can be split into two groups: DNA viruses and RNA viruses.The genome of a DNA virus is composed of: guanine, thymine, cytosine, and adenine.The genome of an RNA virus is composed of: guanine, uracil, cytosine, and adenine.
What is ssRNA-RT viruses?
ssRNA-RT viruses are single-stranded RNA viruses that use reverse transcriptase (RT) enzyme to convert their RNA genome into DNA once they infect a host cell. This DNA is then inserted into the host's genome, allowing the virus to replicate along with the host cell. HIV is an example of a ssRNA-RT virus.
Does chickenpox have single-stranded or double-stranded DNA?
Varicella-zoster virus, the virus that causes chickenpox, has a double-stranded DNA genome.
IS HPV single or double stranded?
circular double stranded DNA protected by capsid proteins
Is the HIV virus double-stranded?
No, HIV is a retrovirus - it has a single-stranded RNA genome.
What is the struture of a virus?
A VIRUS is a 100 times smaller than a bacteria. A virus particle, also known as a virion, is essentially nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) enclosed in a protein shell or coat. Viruses may have double-stranded DNA, double-stranded RNA, single-stranded DNA or single-stranded RNA
What is the genetic molecule of a virus?
Either DNA, or RNA, depending on the virus.
What is the genetic material that makes up a virus particle?
Two types of nucleic acids DNA and RNA.These can be double stranded or single stranded.
Is influenza single strand or double strand RNA?
It is single stranded RNA. Importantly, it is also a segmented genome that allows it to have large genetic diversity.
Is avian flu DNA or RNA?
The virus has DNA as its genetic material. More interesting, the DNA is single-stranded. "Parvo" is short for "parvovirus" and usually "canine parvovirus type 2."
Does Virus contain both DNA and RNA?
Viruses can contain either DNA or RNA, but not both. DNA viruses have genetic material made of DNA, while RNA viruses have genetic material made of RNA. Some viruses have single-stranded genetic material, while others have double-stranded genetic material.
Is yellow fever virus DNA or RNA?
Yellow fever is a single stranded RNA virus (ssRNA)
What are the two nucleic acid that a capsid of a virus may enclose?
A capsid of a virus may enclose either DNA or RNA as its genetic material. Viruses can contain either single-stranded or double-stranded DNA or RNA, depending on the type of virus.
Is Hepatitis B RNA or DNA?
HCV is an enveloped single-strand RNA virus in the flavivirus family.
