It is incorrect about the virus:

Correct answer: D. Metabolism

  • A. Acellular nature
  • B. DNA
  • C. RNA
  • D. Metabolism

Explanation

Option D is correct. Viruses do not replicate on their own because they are not living organisms and lack the metabolic machinery. In order for a virus to replicate, it needs to infect a host cell. The virus's genetic material is then injected into the host cell, and the host cell's machinery is used to replicate the virus's genome and produce new virus particles. Viruses are acellular. This means that they are not made up of cells. They are simply pieces of genetic material (DNA or RNA) that are wrapped in a protein coat.
