Rhinoviruses store their genetic information in RNA.
They belong to the Picornaviridae family, which is in Class IV of the Baltimore classification, that is, the viruses with positive-sense single-stranded RNA.

Is herpes a DNA virus or RNA virus?
AIDS is not a virus. However, HIV is a RNA virus.
What are viruses genetic materia?
Viruses contain either DNA or RNA.
Are DNA genomes found in all organisms and viruses?
yes, but many viruses do not have DNA genome, but RNA genome.
Why does a virus not have both DNA and RNA?
Because it doesn't use it's DNA or RNA to function, it uses it to inject into a cell and switch the cell's instructions to its own so the cell will make more viruses. Cells have DNA and RNA to tell the cell what to do, but viruses just do it naturally. Viruses have no use for both.
Why are the RNA viruses not able to package DNA?
The RNA virisus's cells do not have a Golgi Complex, so they do not have the ability to package DNA.
Is herpes a DNA virus or RNA virus?
AIDS is not a virus. However, HIV is a RNA virus.
Does hpv contain DNA or rna?
DNA virus.
How does viruses classificate?
DNA and RNA viruses.
Do some viruses have rna rather than DNA?
Yes, that is correct - some viruses have RNA, others DNA.
What viruses have Rna in their core rather than Dna?
They are called Rna viruses. Rna retro-viruses are a different and somewhat more complex matter.
What is the difference between DNA viruses and RNA viruses?
There are several differences for example; most DNA viruses use the DNA polymerases of of the host cell to synthesize new genomes along the templates provided by the viral DNA, in contrast to replicate their genomes, RNA viruses use virally encoded polymerases that can use RNA as a template. RNA viruses usually retain their RNA within capsids, whilst DNA viruses are less "packaged" usually retained within say a head, or a capsomere. The main difference of course, is that DNA viruses contain either a doubled stranded DNA (dsDNA) or a single stranded (ssDNA), and RNA viruses contain dsRNA or ssRNA. There are of course several other differences, but these are the ones I know of.
Is RNA or DNA most important to virus?
Some viruses move RNA, some DNA; but RNA is more common.
Does viruses contain RNA?
Some viruses contain RNA; these are known as retroviruses. Others contain DNA.
What kind of genetic material do viruses have?
The genetic material that viruses have is RNA. Viruses are unable to truly carry out the processes associated with holding their own DNA.
What are viruses genetic materia?
Viruses contain either DNA or RNA.
Is H1N1 influenza a retrovirus?
No it is not. Retroviruses are RNA viruses that can change their RNA into DNA for cell infection (example HIV). Influenza viruses are also RNA viruses, but they do not transcribe the RNA into DNA. Some people think the R in RNA stands for retrovirus, but it stands for ribonucleic acid.
What two biomolecules can carry the genetic information for a virus?
DNA and RNA. Viruses that use RNA often have to have enzymes that convert the RNA to DNA.
