Double branded DNA viruses select only one answer all insert

Double branded DNA viruses (select only one answer) all insert their genome into the host\'s genome to be translated and transcribed likely have a slower rates of mutation than RNA viruses never cause diseases are more common than RNA viruses are responsible for 45% of the human genome because of their insertions

Solution

The double-stranded DNA viruses are unique pathogens which require a DNA intermediate for replication of new viral particles using reverse transcriptase enzyme. These viruses are particularly shown to be highly active pathogens for human and higher vertebrate infections from primitive times. They are less common than RNA viruses. However, like other RNA/DNA viruses, they too possess high mutation rates owing to faulty replication and lack of proof-reading by polymeraes. Importantly, as a mode of infection, all of these viruses do insert their genome or a part of it in the host cell\'s genome to promotes its transcription and translation. This is why double-stranded DNA viruses are difficult to eradicate from human/vertebrate hosts because they very easily modulate their molecular functions according to the host machinery. Some examples of diseases caused by such viruses are small pox, herpes infection etc.

Thus, the above explanations states that choice 1 is most correct.
