Question

Double-Stranded RNA viruses are known as.
A. Arboviruses
B. Riboviruses
C. Reoviruses
D. Ribovira.

Answer 1

Hint: All living organisms possess a genome that is called genetic material which is either DNA or RNA and single-stranded or double-stranded. The genetic material presents naked or enclosed in the nuclear membrane. usually enclosed genetic material found in eukaryotes and naked found in prokaryotes.

Complete answer: Virus are the microscopic entity which acts as living when it is present in the host cell and acts as nonliving when it is present outside the host cell. Double-stranded RNA viruses are polyphyletic virus groups that have a double-stranded genome which transcribes positive strands of RNA. Double-stranded RNA viruses are classified into two phyla duplornaviricota and pisuviricota and also consist of rotavirus which causes gastroenteritis in the young child which is a globally known disease. The double-stranded RNA virus is Reovirus, any group of ribonucleic acid consisting of the family reoviridae which is a small group of animal and plant viruses. The virions of reoviruses appear spheroid and have two icosahedral capsids and possess double-stranded RNA which lack an outer envelope.
Arbovirus term used for the group of the virus which are transmitted by arthropods animal which acts as a vector, the double-stranded RNA is not known, the symptoms of arbovirus occur 315 days after being infected by the virus and last 3 to 4 days. Riboviruses are viruses, which possess single and double-stranded RNA as the genome, while ribovira also contain either RNA or DNA genome.
Hence, the correct option is C.

Note: Viruses are an organic form that interacts with other living organisms and it is also called an organism at the edge of life. The structure and shape of the virus vary along with the genome (RNA, DNA, or both at different life stages). They are helical, prolate, icosahedral, enveloped, complex, giant viruses.
