- Makes new RNA, no DNA is made
- An example of a ssRNA (single stranded)
- Also known as a positive sense virus because it can be translated directly at the ribosome
- Ebola
- Makes new RNA, no DNA is made.
- Ebola is a negative sense sRNA. Meaning the RNA will need to be transcribed before it can be translated
- Tobacco Mosaic Virus
- RetroVirus
- HIV
- They contain RNA that directs the synthesis of the enzyme Reverse Transcriptase
- The enzyme makes DNA versions of the RNA genome
- The DNA is incorporated into the host cell and used to make more viral proteins and RNA genomes
- The enzyme makes DNA versions of the RNA genome
- They contain RNA that directs the synthesis of the enzyme Reverse Transcriptase
- HIV
- DNA Virus
