Total length can do 33 round trips to the sun or wound up the earth 250, 000 times. Genes: can produce a protein, chromosome has dna & dna carries the gene, gene is composed of 4 different bases. Only replicates in one direction, from 3" to 5". In order to copy, dna has to unwind then one strand goes up and another strand goes down b/c it only copies from 3" to 5" direction. Product is 5" to 3" (replicate opposite, bind opposite direction) Positive sense rna viruses - can be translated to make proteins. Negative sense rna viruses - complementary to the positive sense.
