1. A -ssRNA virus wants to convert itself into dsDNA so it can incorporate into the host cell
DNA. For the first step it will need:
a. reverse transcriptase
b. an RNA-dependent, RNA polymerase
c. a DNA-dependent, DNA polymerase
d. a DNA-dependent, RNA polymerase
e. a ribosome
2. Viktor discovers a virus with a very small unsegmented RNA genome, that makes several
viral proteins with the use of overlapping ORFs. Based on the Baltimore classification scheme, it
is likely that this virus belongs to class:
a. IV
b. V
c. VI
d. III
e. VII.
