Detailed explanation-1: -Cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) belongs to the Caulimoviridae family of circular, double-stranded DNA viruses. It predominantly infects members of the Brassicaceae family, including radish, turnip, canola, mustard, cauliflower, broccoli, and cabbage.
Detailed explanation-2: -So, the correct answer is, ‘dsDNA. ‘ Note:-Caulimovirus contains circular ds DNA and is spherical in shape.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) is a member of the genus Caulimovirus. It is one of the viruses which infect many plants especially the members of Cruciferae. It contains DNA as a genetic material instead of RNA and replicates through the mechanisms of reverse transcription like a retrovirus.
Detailed explanation-4: -Cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) contains seven open reading frames (ORFs) located on the 8000-nucleotide-long pregenomic RNA. Sequence comparisons have revealed the relationship of the CaMV ORF V to the retrovirus pol genes [1].
Detailed explanation-5: -So the correct answer is ‘Cauliflower Mosaic Virus’.
