Which genome type typically requires RNA polymerases for gene transcription? A) All DNA viruses B) dsRNA viruses C) ssRNA viruses D) dsDNA viruses
Understand the Problem
The question is asking which type of genome among various virus types relies on RNA polymerases for the process of gene transcription. It presents multiple choice options that involve different types of viral genomes.
Answer
B) dsRNA viruses
The final answer is B) dsRNA viruses
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is B) dsRNA viruses
More Information
dsRNA viruses utilize RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) for gene transcription, as this enzyme can use RNA as a template for RNA synthesis.
