The Nucleic acid of nearly all bacteriophage is: __________?
Correct answer: C. DNA
- A. RNA
- B. Protein
- C. DNA
- D. None of these
Explanation
Nearly all known bacteriophages have DNA as their genetic material, although a small number of phages possess RNA genomes. Students may choose protein because the capsid is made of protein, but the question asks for the nucleic acid, not the coat. Therefore, option c is the expected answer.
