From the value given above it seems that the virus is an RNA virus.
Explanation:
- The base pairs are different for RNA and DNA viruses. The RNA viruses have an exclusive nitrogenous base known as uracil which is not present in DNA.
- These viruses are also known as retroviruses since during replication they change themselves from RNA to DNA by using the enzyme DNA dependent RNA polymerase.
- It is a double stranded virus since it has non uniform base pairs.
