The RNA phages contain only a single positive-sense strand of RNA.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

RNA phages are a group of viruses that contain a single strand of positive-sense RNA as their genetic material. This RNA can be directly translated into protein by host ribosomes without the need for further processing. Unlike double-stranded RNA viruses or negative-sense RNA viruses, RNA phages do not require RNA polymerase to transcribe their RNA into a usable form.
