Question

retro- single-stranded RNA double-stranded RNA single-stranded DNA viruses have replication that involves first generating a complementary DNA strand. viruses contain an RNA-dependent DNA polymerase called reverse transcriptase that is used generate a DNA intermediate. viruses have processes of replication, transcription, and translation that are the most double-stranded DNA similar to those used by cells. is the genetic material of virophages and viruses replicate using DNA polymerases, either their own or from those of the host. and viruses carry their own nucleic acid polymerases (called replicases) to replicate the viral genome with no DNA intermediate. viruses have genome configurations that are either plus-sense or minus-sense.

Explanation / Answer

1) Virus's replication involves generating a complementary DNA strand - Single stranded DNA.

2) Virus that contains an RNA-dependent DNA polymerase called reverse transcriptase to generate a DNA intermediate - Retrovirus.

3) Viruses have processes of replication, transcription and translation that are the most similar to those used by cells - Double stranded DNA virus.

Double stranded DNA virus, which replicates, transcribes and translates similar to prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells.

4) Virophages have either RNA or DNA as their genetic material. The nucleic acid may be single or double stranded.

5) Single stranded DNA and Double stranded DNA viruses that replicate using DNA polymerase, either its own or from the host.

6)  Single-stranded DNA and Double-stranded DNA viruses carry their own nucleic acid polymerases to replicate the viral genome with no DNA intermediate.

7) Viruses have genome configurations that are either plus-sense or minus-sense - Single stranded RNA virus.

ssRNA virus who's genome configurations are either plus-sense or minus-sense.
