Term
+ sense?
Definition
looks like mRNA so the cell translates
Term
- sense?
Definition
looks like RNA
Term
how a + sense works
Definition
since it looks like mRNA cell translates, part goes to make capsid, while other makes gets RDRP added, which makes - sense copy, which then makes + sense copy, then ALL is assembled
Term
how - sense virus works?
Definition
- RNA + RDRP makes + strands which then it copies into - strangs and capsids, assembed and released
Term
Retrovirus?
Definition

2 strands but they are not complementary

comes with RT enzyme

Term
How does a retrovirus work?
Definition
you start with the + rna strand and the RT, which makes a ss DNA< which then makes a ds DNA, then it incorporates, which makes copies of the viral + strand and  you have capsomeres with + and RT that bud off
