DNA?
Map duo Sapling Learning macmillan learring Most organisms use DNA as their genetic material. RNA viruses are able to use RNA instead. What r mechanisms allow these viruses to use RNA as their genetic material instead of DNA? The viral particle is covered by a mix of viral RNA and glycoproteins. □ Single-stranded viral RNA can be transcribed by reverse transcriptase □ Viral RNA catalyzes all of the reactions necessary for viral replication. Viral RNA can act like mRNA and be translated into viral proteins by the host cell. Double-stranded RNA is used to generate mRNA that is translated into viral proteins. Incorrect. At least one of your choices is incorrect. Viruses are unable to catalyze all of the reactions necessary to reproduce with RNA alone. In addition, the genetic material of an RNA virus is almost always protected by an outer shell comprised of glycoproteins. 0 Previous ⓧ Give Up & View Solution # Try Again O Next Exit 厂
