Question

Consider the following statements : ​ 1. Adenoviruses have single-stranded DNA genomes whereas retroviruses have double-stranded DNA genomes. ​ 2. Common cold is sometime caused by an adenovirus whereas AIDS is caused by a retrovirus. ​ Which of the statements given above is/are correct? ​

CollectorBabu · Accepted Answer

Correct Answer: 2 only ​. Statement 1 is incorrect:  The adenovirus genome is a single linear molecule of double-stranded DNA.  Retroviruses are single-stranded RNA animal viruses that employ a double-stranded DNA intermediate for replication. Statement 2 is correct:  Adenoviruses are common viruses that cause a range of illnesses. They can cause cold-like symptoms, fever, sore throat, bronchitis, pneumonia, diarrhea, and pink eye (conjunctivitis).  AIDS is caused by retrovirus.  So statement 2 is correct
