Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adenoviruses are double-stranded DNA viruses that do not have an envelope, making them a likely candidate for the isolated virus. Paramyxoviridae are negative-sense single-stranded RNA viruses with an envelope, retroviridae are RNA viruses with reverse transcriptase and an envelope, and parvoviridae are single-stranded DNA viruses with an envelope.
