Question
The Baltimore classification scheme is based on the relationship between the virus' genome and its mRNA. For the following choices, indicate which viruses would fall into each classification: 1) require reverse transcriptase to copy the information in their own genome to DNA; 2) can replicate and be transcribed in the same manner as the cells own genetic material; and 3) a replicative form of DNA must be produced and is used for both replication and transcription. Drag and drop choices to the bins they describe.Explanation / Answer
The classification of Baltimore was a classification proposed with the biologist David Baltimore that allows to organize the different viruses according to their genetic material and form of replication. The classification proposes 8 classes according to the type of DNA and RNA.
In this case the answer is:
Requires reverse transcriptase:
Functions similary to cell’s own genetic material:
Uses a replicative form of DNA:
