->Adenovirus, Herpes virus,parvovirus are some examples of DNA virus

RNA VIRUSES :-

->RNA viruse are single stranded and contain RNA as their genetic material

->RNA viruses first transcribed and then replicated in cytoplasm

->RNA viruses can bypass transcription during protein synthesis since they already have RNA in the genome

->Newly synthesized viral RNA is not packed into procaspid

->Reoviruses,picornaviruses,retroviruses are some examples of RNA viruses.
