A single stranded RNA virus (ssRNA) is simply a virus containing a single strand of RNA genome, here are some of the families: Picornavirus, Coronavirus, Flavivirus and Togavirus.

Note: These are classes/families of viruses

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.

The RNA molecule is made up of how many strands?

RNA is typically single-stranded, meaning it consists of only one strand of nucleotides. This single strand of RNA is synthesized in the cell by copying the genetic information from DNA during transcription.


Why is RNA needed to create proteins?

RNA is a single-stranded structure that is copied from an unzipped DNA strand identically, this is called transcription. The RNA strand contains the complementary base pairs for the DNA sequence. The DNA strand has sections that code for specific proteins, so when the RNA strand is created from the DNA, the RNA strand is then able to recreate the sequence that codes for the proteins. The RNA strand leaves the nucleus, via a nuclear pore, and enters the cytoplasm. In the cytoplasm the RNA strand binds to two Ribosomal subunits, and translation is carried out, producing proteins.


What is a single strand of rna that loops back on itself?

A single strand of RNA that loops back on itself is called a hairpin loop or a stem-loop. It forms when the RNA sequence folds back on itself due to complementary base pairing within the same strand, creating a double-stranded region. These structures play important roles in various biological processes, such as gene regulation and enzymatic activity.
