- Please asaparrow_forwardPart B - Viral Classification: The Baltimore Scheme The Baltimore classification scheme is based on the relationship between the virus' genome and its mRNA. For the following choices, indicate which viruses would fall into each classification: 1) require reverse transcriptase to copy the information in their own genome to DNA; 2) can replicate and be transcribed in the same manner as the cell's own genetic material; and 3) a replicative form of DNA must be produced and is used for both replication and transcription. Drag and drop choices to the bins they describe. double-stranded DNA viruses Requires reverse transcriptase double-stranded RNA viruses retroviruses double-stranded DNA viruses that have an RNA intermediate Functions similarly to cell's own genetic material plus-strand RNA viruses minus-strand RNA viruses Reset Help plus-strand DNA viruses Uses a replicative form of DNAarrow_forwardCharacterize viruses according to size range.

O After a retrovirus attaches to the host cell, it injects its viral DNA and uses the host cell's machinery and materials to replicate. O After a retrovirus injects its viral RNA into a host cell, it forms a DNA strand by reverse transcription.
