Concept explainers
a.
To determine:
Whether RNA can be found in a virus, a cell, or both.
Introduction:
A virus is a small infectious agent that can’t be seen through the naked eyes. Viruses are made up of protein coat in which their genetic material is present. The viruses contain either double stranded or single stranded DNA or RNA as their genetic material. These viruses integrate their genome into the host genome because they do not contain their own replicative or translational machinery. Hence, they depend on the host for their cell cycle.
b.
To determine:
Whether reverse transcriptase can be found in a virus, a cell, or both.
