Solution

Cells can contain all of the following types of genomes:

  1. A single-stranded DNA genome: Some viruses, like the bacteriophage M13, have single-stranded DNA genomes.

  2. A double-stranded DNA genome: This is the most common type of genome found in cells, including human cells. It consists of two complementary strands of DNA.

  3. A single-stranded RNA genome: Some viruses, like the influenza virus and the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19, have single-stranded RNA genomes.

  4. A double-stranded RNA genome: Some viruses, like the rotavirus which causes gastroenteritis, have double-stranded RNA genomes.

So, cells can contain any of these types of genomes, often depending on whether they are infected by a virus and what type of virus it is.
