A particular animal virus requires the use of DNA polymerase from" its host, since it does not possesses its own polymerase enzyme. Which of the following assumptions in A-D would likely be incorrect or false regarding this virus?

A. Unless it were a retrovirus, the virus would not have an RNA genome.

B. The virus might not be able to replicate if the host was in a non-growth state like Go of the cell cycle.

C. The virus must be an enveloped virus.

D. The virus life cycle very likely includes going to the host cell nucleus.

E. Two or more of A-D are a false/incorrect assumptions.

F. A-D are all valid assumptions; none are incorrect

Option E is wrong because options A - D are correct about the virus.

Explanation:

The virus is a retro virus and has RNA which will not replicate in a slow-growth state but grows in a viable host. The virus is an envelope virus and it's life cycle will includes its infusion into the host cell nucleus.
