Detailed explanation-1: -Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) has single stranded RNA (ss RNA) as its genetic material.
Detailed explanation-2: -Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) has a 6.3-kb positive-stranded RNA genome which encodes four proteins (reviewed in references 1, 2, and 6).
Detailed explanation-3: -Because TMV is an RNA virus, synthetic RNA needed to be transcribed in vitro from DNA.
Detailed explanation-4: -Tobacco Mosaic Virus, Potato Mosaic Virus and Tomato Mosaic Virus are retroviruses with RNA as its genetic material. 7.
Detailed explanation-5: -Ribonucleic acid (abbreviated RNA) is a nucleic acid present in all living cells that has structural similarities to DNA. Unlike DNA, however, RNA is most often single-stranded. An RNA molecule has a backbone made of alternating phosphate groups and the sugar ribose, rather than the deoxyribose found in DNA.
