Which of the following would you consider to be general properties of viruses______________?

Correct answer: B. Fall in to the general size range of 200-3000 angstrom unit

  • A. New virus particle arises directly (by division) from preexisting viruses
  • B. Fall in to the general size range of 200-3000 angstrom unit
  • C. Contain equal proportions of protein, lipo polysaccharide and nucleic acids
  • D. Contain DNA but no RNA

Explanation

Viruses commonly measure about 20 to 300 nm, equivalent to roughly 200 to 3000 angstroms. They multiply by replication rather than division, may contain either DNA or RNA, and do not contain equal proportions of protein, lipid, and nucleic acid.
