which of the followoing is capable of replication in enucleated cells?

adenovirus

cytomegalovirus

influenza virus

jcvirus

poliovirus

  #2

Picorna (poliovirus) RNA viruses and Pox virus(DNA virus) replicate in cytoplasm.

  #3

all RNA virus except retro & influenza replicate in cytoplasm

  #4

I agree with Meg. Id like to add that the shifting ,drifting Influenza virus needs both the Cytoplasm and Nucleus to replicate

***Polio in the picornavirus family is a very small, + ssRNA, naked,
icosahedral,survives organic solvents.(the pnemonic PEERCH is used
for this family)-**IMP-Polio replicates in CYTOPLASM or enucleated
cells. :shock:
