Question

One of the interesting features of viruses is that, they

• A. Occur only inside the bacteria
• B. Multiply only in the host cytoplasm
• C. Are made up of proteins only
• D. Behave as if they were plants

Answer 1

The correct option is B Multiply only in the host cytoplasm

A virus is a small infectious agent that replicates only inside the living cells of other organisms. Viruses can infect all types of life forms, from animals and plants to microorganisms, including bacteria and archaea. Viruses can multiply only inside the host cytoplasm. Thus, option B is correct. Viruses do not occur only inside the bacteria. Viruses are made up of proteins and genetic material. Viruses do not behave as if they were plants.
