lmbebo Forum Elite Topics: 36 Posts: 338	Feb 03, 2005 - 6:05 PM       #3 really confused by this question. Best guess at what the question is asking is which virus goes through 4 different intermediates? Or is it asking which virus family comes in different flavors? Pox, if I remember correctly, is a dsDNA. Replicates in the cytoplasm though and carries its own virion assoc DNA polymerase. Herps = dsDNA Rabies = Rhabdo virus = neg ssRNA. bullet shaped Orthomyox = Influenza virus = neg ssRNA, 8 segmens retrovirus = dsRNA answer = e) retro?
