Question

Do prions grow?

Answer 1

Prions:

A prion is a form of protein that can infect both humans and animals by altering the normal folding of healthy proteins in the brain.

1. These are the proteinaceous particles that are known to cause some types of infections in mammals.
2. Proteinaceous particles are made of proteins and do not comprise any genetic material as found in living cells.
3. They are just the enclosed protein bodies.

Final answer: No, they do not grow because they are not living organisms.
