After infection of a cell, a viral particle must transport itself to the nucleus in order to produce viral proteins. What is the likely genomic content of the virus?

Double-stranded DNA

Explanation:

If a virus requires to transport its genome in the nucleus to produce viral protein then the viral genome content must be DNA. This DNA of the virus will use the RNA polymerase of the host cell and will first convert into mRNA in the nucleus.

Then the mRNA of the virus will come out of the nucleus because the protein synthesis takes place outside the nucleus and in the cytoplasm. So in the cytoplasm by using host translational machinery the viral mRNA will code for viral proteins. So the correct answer is double-stranded DNA.
