The only virus, which has double stranded RNA, is______________?

Correct answer: B. Reo virus

  • A. Bunya virus
  • B. Reo virus
  • C. Calci virus
  • D. Rhabdo virus

Explanation

Reoviruses contain a segmented double-stranded RNA genome, whereas bunya, calici and rhabdo viruses have single-stranded RNA genomes. More than one virus in nature has dsRNA, so “only virus” is an oversimplification, but Reovirus is the correct choice among these options.
