KVPYKVPY 2018

Solution:

Option (a) is correct. Other statements can be corrected as viruses are acellular entities and contain either DNA or RNA. They replicate using the replication proteins of their host cell. The protein shell of virus is called capsid, it encloses the genetic material of the virus. It protects the nucleic acid from digestion by enzymes. The polymerase genes of virus are expressed early in the cycle of virus but capsid and tail proteins are expressed later.
