Double stranded DNA viruses typically have their genome transcribed in?

Its either A or B not sure, anyone have a clue?





Double stranded DNA virus typically must have their genome transcribed:





a. Into an RNA intermediate





b. In the nucleus





c. In the cytoplasm





d. At the cell surface

Double stranded DNA viruses typically have their genome transcribed in?
The answer would be A, the RNA intermediate being messenger RNA.
Reply:nucleus
Reply:Transcription of the DNA virus genome (except for poxviruses) occurs in the nucleus.
Reply:There is no way to do anything with DNA unless you have an RNA intermediate, so A is definately true. As transcription is nuclear (apparently with the exception of pox viruses), I would say B too.
Reply:The nucleus since they require host nuclear enzymes to make mRNA.
