The Baltimore Classification Logic
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Baltimore classification sorts viruses into groups by how each genome type is converted into messenger RNA during replication, not by shape or host.
Show
A double-stranded DNA virus transcribes mRNA; a single-stranded RNA virus first needs an enzyme to build a complementary strand.
Watch for
Two viruses sharing a genome type can land in different Baltimore groups if their mRNA-production route differs.
