RNA viruses are also called?

Viruses with RNA as their genetic material are called retroviruses. They use the enzyme reversetranscriptase to transcribe their RNA genome into DNA, which is then inserted into the host's genome.


What are the DNA Translation enzymes?

To my knowledge there is no such thing as a DNA translation enzyme. DNA is not translated; it is transcribed. During transcription, RNA polymerases create mRNA molecules by reading off from the sequence of the DNA template strand. Then the mRNA molecule is translated by ribosomes that convert that use each successive codon of the mRNA sequence to code for a particular amino acid. This last process - the use of sequence information in mRNA to direct the synthesis of a polypeptide chain - that is translation and it does not involve DNA.

Do viruses use sexual reproduction?

Viruses are complex protein chains with DNA switch over within its core. It does not have independent sex cell gametes to produce sexually.


Do retroviruses contain DNA for their genetic material?

Retroviruses contain RNA as their genetic material, not DNA. They are unique because they use an enzyme called reverse transcriptase to convert their RNA into DNA once inside a host cell. This DNA is then integrated into the host cell's genome.


What requires a host cell to reproduce?

yes a virus need host cell to repriduce becouse it lack enzyme system


Can a virus release and use energy?

Virus particles have no metabolism and does not use energy. However, some viruses have kinetic energy stored in the high pressure inside them, this energy is released when they squirt their genome into the host cell. When they hijack the cell to make more viruses the cell will use energy to produce new viruses.
