No. They are RNA.


Is H1N1 influenza a retrovirus?

No it is not. Retroviruses are RNA viruses that can change their RNA into DNA for cell infection (example HIV). Influenza viruses are also RNA viruses, but they do not transcribe the RNA into DNA. Some people think the R in RNA stands for retrovirus, but it stands for ribonucleic acid.


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.
