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
It is single stranded RNA. Importantly, it is also a segmented genome that allows it to have large genetic diversity.
Within the HIV capsid is the genetic material RNA along with two reverse transcriptase enzymes to copy the RNA into DNA inside the invaded cell.
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.
single stranded RNA
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.

Yes, RNA is composed of a single strand of nucleotides.
RNA is more commonly found in viruses than single-strand DNA.
Yes
RNA typically consists of a single polynucleotide strand.

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.
An asRNA is an antisense RNA, a single-stranded RNA which is complemenetary to a messenger RNA strand transcribed within a cell.
single stranded RNA
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.

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.
