Question

The relative amounts of each nucleotide base are tabulated here for four different viruses. Which virus has a double stranded RNA genome

Answer 1

Answer:

1. I and IV

2. II and III

3. I and II

Explanation:

The complete question is

Virus T C U G A

I 0 12 9 12 9

II 23 16 0 16 23

III 34 42 0 18 39

IV 0 24 35 27 17

The relative amounts of each nucleotide base are tabulated here for four different viruses.

Which virus has a single stranded DNA genome, a single stranded RNA genome, and which has a double stranded RNA genome?

Solution

RNA has "U" instead of T in its nucleotide sequence. Hence, both I and IV are RNA

DNA has T instead of U and hence both II and III are DNA

Virus I and II are double stranded RNA because they both have equeal number of base pair group

A=T and C=G
