Solution

The correct answer is b. sense; anti-sense.

Step 1: Understand the question. The question is asking about the type of RNA in viruses and how it affects the process of translation, which is the process of making proteins from RNA.

Step 2: Understand the terms. "Sense" RNA refers to RNA that has the same sequence as the mRNA (messenger RNA) and can be directly translated into a protein. "Anti-sense" RNA is the opposite sequence to the mRNA, so it cannot be directly translated into a protein.

Step 3: Apply the knowledge. Since sense RNA has the correct sequence for translation, viruses with sense RNA can have their RNA directly translated into proteins. On the other hand, viruses with anti-sense RNA must first have their RNA converted into the correct sequence (into sense RNA) before it can be translated into proteins.

Therefore, the answer is b. sense; anti-sense.
