Question

Group II viruses violate the Central Dogma.

Is the highlighted statement above true or false and why?

You must indicate if you think the highlighted statement above is True or False, AND you must pick one of the rationals for your choice from the list presented below. Your answer should follow the form of the word True or False immediately followed by a number.

For example, False3 would mean you think the statement above is false, because Group II Viruses use a DNA genome as a template for DNA, which is then transcribed to mRNA. The Central Dogma is DNA -> RNA -> Protein. Group II viruses use a DNA -> DNA -> RNA -> Protein pathway

1. Group II Viruses still use a DNA genome as a template for anti-sense DNA, which is then used as a template for RNA, which is then translated to proteins. This is still DNA -> RNA -> Protein.

2. Group II Viruses use an RNA genome as a template for for proteins.

3. Group II Viruses use a DNA genome as a template for DNA, which is then transcribed to mRNA. The Central Dogma is DNA -> RNA -> Protein. Group II viruses use a DNA -> DNA -> RNA -> Protein pathway.

4. Group II Viruses use an RNA genome to synthesize DNA, which is then used to synthesize mRNA, which is then used to synthesize proteins. This is still DNA -> RNA -> Protein.

Explanation / Answer

I believe the answer is FALSE3

this should be false because still DNA is the genetic material and being translated into mRNA and then protein. So central dogma is sort of maintained in a way.
