Researchers discovered a new virus and characterized its genome by determining the base composition and the percentage of each base. You want to categorize the virus by its genetic material. Remember that viruses may contain single-stranded DNA or RNA or double-stranded DNA or RNA as the genetic material. Given just the sequence information, propose a way to distinguish if the genetic material is RNA or DNA. Propose a way to distinguish if the genetic information is single-stranded or double-stranded.
