Please use the following information to answer the question(s) below.
In 1971, David Baltimore described a scheme for classifying viruses based on how the virus produces mRNA. Table 17.1 shows the results of testing five viruses (A-E) for nuclease sensitivity , the ability of the viral genome to act as an mRNA, and the presence (+) or absence (-) of each virus's own polymerase. Table 17.1
-Based on Table 17.1, which virus meets the requirements for a bacteriophage?
