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..


What types of vectors are used to carry DNA from one species into the DNA of another species?

The two main types of vectors used are plasmids and viruses. Plasmids are circular DNA molecules found in bacteria that can be engineered to carry foreign DNA. Viruses, such as retroviruses or adenoviruses, can also be used as vectors to deliver genetic material into a host cell's DNA.


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.


DNA and RNA are both types?

They are types of nucleic acids. DNA is found in the nucleus and RNA is found in the nucleolus (in the nucleus) and in the ribosomes. DNA codes for RNA, which codes for proteins which ultimately make up our body.


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 are two types of virisus?

Two types of viruses are DNA viruses, which have genetic material made of DNA, and RNA viruses, which have genetic material made of RNA. DNA viruses typically replicate in the host cell's nucleus, while RNA viruses typically replicate in the host cell's cytoplasm.

What is the type of virus that codes backwards from RNA to DNA?

That is called a retrovirus. The enzyme used to code in that direction is called reverse transcriptase.

Is there anything that does not contain DNA?

Yes. Anything that isn't an organism will not contain DNA. For example, rocks do not have DNA. Additionally, some viruses have RNA instead of DNA although viruses would be covered by the first category mentioned.

Does DNA influence the rate of plant growth in different types of plants?

Yes - but its not the part that codes for proteins, its the rest (the so-called junk DNA).


Are DNA genomes found in all organisms and viruses?

yes, but many viruses do not have DNA genome, but RNA genome.
