1. Suppose that you isolated anenveloped icosahedral RNA virus. Purified RNA from this virus iscapable of supporting translation in a rabbit reticulocytecell‑free translation system or in any other such system. Furtheranalysis indicates that this virus replication is notinhibited by actinomycin D, a strong inhibitor ofDNA-dependent RNA polymerase.
Based on this information, discuss themechanism by which this virus replicates its genome in infectedsusceptible, permissive cells.
Please give more informationthat ties in replication of viruses with RNA genomes, and how thevirus replication not being inhibited by actinomycin D plays a roletoo.
