Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is DNA or RNA. Viral chromosomes exist in a variety of conformations and can be made up of DNA or RNA

Explanation:

The hereditary material of viruses is organized into chromosomes of different types. From the genetic point of view, viruses can be classified into DNA or RNA viruses, double helix or single helix, and circular or linear, that is, viral chromosomes are linear or circular molecules of DNA or RNA. Viruses can be classified according to the type of organism they parasitize in: Bacteriophages or phages, animal viruses and plant-type viruses. Viral chromosomes are also subject to the recombination process, this happens when an individual cell is infected simultaneously by two mutant strains of a virus.
