Regarding the influenza virus, which of the following is false? A. The viral mRNAs are translated on free ribosomes and bound ribosomes. B. The viral envelope consists of host cell plasma membrane (phospholipid bilayer) embedded with viral glycoproteins. C. The virus uses its own RNA-dependent RNA polymerase to synthesize an RNA molecule that is complementary to the RNA genome. D. The RNA genome also serves as an mRNA, which encodes the viral capsid and envelope proteins.

Which statement among A-D is false regarding non-retrovirus RNA viruses? A. they possess RNA-dependent RNA polymerase B. the genome of single-stranded (+) RNA virus like West Nile virus can serve directly as mRNA C. during the multiplication process inside a host cell, a single-stranded (-) RNA virus must go through a (+) RNA stage before forming progeny phage D. such viruses can produce a provirus form in the host E. None of A-D is false, they are all true statements
