Herpesviridae, a DNA virus family, acquires its envelope from the nuclear membrane due to its replication occurring within the nucleus for nucleotide access, unlike RNA viruses that replicate in the cytosol and acquire envelopes from the cell membrane.
Herpesviridae ailesi, nükleer zarftan zarfını alan bir DNA virüsüdür çünkü nükleotitlere ihtiyaç duyarak çekirdekte çoğalır; RNA virüsleri ise sitozolde çoğaldığı için hücre zarından zarf alır.
| Front | What virus family gets its envelope from the host cell's nuclear membrane? What is the mechanism? |
|---|---|
| Back | Herpesviridae ↓ DNA viruses need nucleotides to replicate so it must be inside the nucleus, and thus, naturally takes envelope from the nuclear membrane RNA viruses replicate in the cytosol and don't need to go into nucleus so envelope come from cell membrane |
