Question

A hypothetical virus is enveloped and has a 5 kb dsDNA genome that encodes the following three proteins (GP – glycoprotein, CA – capsid, TIP – Tethrin Inhibitor Protein). Additionally, the virus requires low pH for entry. Using this information, describe the entirety of the viral replication cycle of the virus. How would this change if the genome were (-) ssRNA, and what other gene product(s) would be necessary to complete the viral replication cycle?
