Question

Group II viruses violate the Central Dogma. Is the highlighted statement above true or false and why? In the blank space below, you must indicate if you think the highlighted statement above is True or False, AND you must pick one of the rationals for your choice from the list presented below. Your answer should follow the form of the word True or False immediately followed by a number. For example, False3 would mean you think the statement above is false, because Group II Viruses use a DNA genome as a template for DNA, which is then transcribed to mRNA. The Central Dogma is DNA -> RNA -> Protein. Group II viruses use a DNA -> DNA -> RNA -> Protein pathway Group II Viruses still use a DNA genome as a template for anti-sense DNA, which is then used as a template for RNA, which is then translated to proteins. This is still DNA -> RNA -> Protein. Group II Viruses use an RNA genome as a template for for proteins. Group II Viruses use a DNA genome as a template for DNA, which is then transcribed to mRNA. The Central Dogma is DNA -> RNA -> Protein. Group II viruses use a DNA -> DNA -> RNA -> Protein pathway.

Answer 1

The statement is false

Step-by-step explanation:

This type of virus is characterized by the presence of only one DNA strand. For this virus, the mechanism of infection is only effective against vegetal cells. After the introduction of the viral DNA inside of the host cytosol. The present proteins auxiliate synthesize the virus DNA and the antisense strand; transforming the single-stranded DNA into double-stranded DNA. In this way, the virus DNA is read by the transcription mechanism of the host, resulting in new virus proteins.

Since it follows the normal gene transcription: it not goes against the normal rule. Consequently, the statement is false.
