Summary Introduction

To propose a hypothesis: To compare viral and cellular RNA polymerase in terms of template and functions.

Concept introduction: Cellular RNA polymerase is an enzyme found in all organisms. Viral RNA polymerases play an important role in replication and transcription of virus. Replication is a process of synthesizing an exact copy from the parent or template strand. Transcription is a process where RNA is formed using DNA or RNA as a template.

BONUS: Why do RNA viruses such as the COVID coronavirus, influenza virus and HIV have much higher mutation rates than DNA viruses such as Herpes viruses? O DNA polymerases which copy viral RNA have much higher mutation rates than RNA polymerases which copy viral DNA O RNA polymerases which copy viral RNA have much higher mutation rates than DNA polymerases which copy viral DNA RNA viral 60S ribosomes make many ore mutations than DNA viral 40S ribosomes O RNA viral gyrases make more mistakes than DNA viral helicases
