The 5'-terminal 200nts on the cucumber mosaic virus genome function as a promoter for the synthesis of the minus-strand RNA.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The 5'-terminal 200 nucleotides on the cucumber mosaic virus genome do not function as a promoter for the synthesis of minus-strand RNA; instead, promoters for RNA synthesis in viruses like the cucumber mosaic virus are typically internal sequences or structures, not merely the terminal sequences.
