The genome size of poxviruses is approximately

  • A.500 to 900 kilobases
  • B.130 to 260 kilobases
  • C.7 to 8 kilobases
  • D.1 to 2 kilobases

Answer: B

The range runs from about 130 kilobases in the parapoxviruses to about 260 in fowlpox. A genome of that size can encode well over a hundred proteins, including the transcription machinery the virus carries into the cell.
