To try and determine what type of virus it is, you gathered the following information:

The capsid is surrounded by a plasma membrane that resembles that of an animal cell. After its genetic material is released into a host cell, the genetic information is used to produce mRNA through a process called transcription. From this mRNA, proteins are being produced making further use of the host's resources. When the assembled virus particles leave the cell, they destroy it.

What type of virus is this?

an enveloped, lysogenic DNA virus
an enveloped, lytic DNA virus
a lytic DNA virus without an envelope
an enveloped, lysogenic RNA virus
a lytic RNA virus without and envelope

Hi!

Here is the answer and the explanation:

The information provided affirms that there is a transcription process to obtain RNA, therefore, we deduce that the virus contains DNA, in this sense options 4 and 5 are discarded. On the other hand, the text affirms that there is a capsid that surrounds the plasma membrane, therefore option 3 is discarded. Finally, he states that the virus destroys the host cell once it has replicated, this is a characteristic of the lytic viruses, therefore the correct answer is 2.
