What are the two types of genetic material found in viruses?

The two kinds of genetic material that can be found in viruses is either going to be RNA or DNA either or you want find both in same virus, but what can happen is (Dogma - DNA to RNA they have an RNA to DNA step this usaully occurs in Retoviruses suh H.I.V..


Does a bacteria have a centriole?

No, centrosomes {centromeres} are places where segregating chromosomes congregate. Bacteria typically have one circular chromosome (still dsDna). This circle has one place more important than the rest: this locale is called the Origin, and it is the beginning [and by default, the end] of chromosome replication.


What is hypochromicity of DNA?

basically..hypochromicity is an effect showing by some compounds/substances (say DNA) a decreased absorbance of a wave length(chrome uses for colour,but) when it transformed physically (and in some extend chemically) to other state. here, a sample of double stranded DNA absorbs less amount of wavelength (for instance a 260 nm ultraviolet) compared to its same quantity of single stranded DNA molecules.. This decreased absorbance in terms of dsDNA can be termed as "DNA Hypochromicity"


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.


Three Characteristics of Viruses that are characteristics of living things?

Viruses react to the environment, reproduce (through asexual means), and need energy to survive. They are also capable of passing hereditary information, but that could be included in reproduction.

What is the difference of ssDNA and dsDNA?

ssDNA means a single strand of DNA and dsDNA is double strand of DNA. Many viruses have one or the other.

Which is more specific for Systemic Lupus Erythematosus anti-dsDNA or anti-SM?

Anyone who has a antiSm has lupus, but not all lupus patients hae antiSm. anti-dsDNA is less specific. There are 118 biomarkers that could indicate lupus, and unfortunately they are all non specific, including the LE prep.


Does replication of DNA begin at one end and process to the other?

Yes, absolutely; from the dsDna's five-prime [5'] end toward its three prime [3'] end.


Are HPV viruses RNA or DNA viruses?

Rhinoviruses store their genetic information in RNA.They belong to the Picornaviridae family, which is in Class IV of the Baltimore classification, that is, the viruses with positive-sense single-stranded RNA.

What is Difference between holoenzyme and core enzyme?

Core enzyme (without σ) does not specifically bind promoters, but rather dsDNA very tightly • KD ≈ 5 x 10-12M t1/2 ≈ 60 minutes • Holoenzyme binds non-promoter DNA more loosely • KD ≈ 10-7M t1/2 > 1 sec


What is inside a flu virus?

Technically, viruses are not alive, thus they are not a cell. You may be referring to the protein capsid in which the nucleic acid of the virus is enclosed in. The contents of the capsid may vary depending on the virus, but it can be ssDNA, dsDNA, ssRNA, or dsRNA.


If you are ANA positive and have high globulin level in the blood does that mean you have Lupus?

Not necessarily. ANA is a sensitive test for SLE (97% of people with SLE will have a +ANA test) but it is not specific, since ANA can be present in a number of other diseases as well as in some people with no disease. Therefore a + ANA test should be followed up by anti-dsDNA and anti-Smith which are markers specific to lupus.


What are rod viruses?

The Rudivirus(members of the family Rudiviridae) are unenveloped, stiff-rod-shaped viruses with linear dsDNA genomes, that infect hyperthermophilic archaea of the kingdom Crenarchaeota.[1][2] The study of crenarchaeal viruses is still incipient. Our knowledge of their biology and basic molecular processes, including infection, virus-host interactions, DNA replication and packaging, as well as transcription regulation, is somewhat limited.
