Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
- Viruses are unique entities that have genetic material enclosed in a protein coat. They can have either DNA or RNA as their genetic material, but not both simultaneously. This genetic material is surrounded by a protein coat called a capsid, which protects it and aids in the infection of host cells.
Given the options:
A) DNA enclosed in a protein coat - This is correct for DNA viruses. B) Prokaryotic nucleus - Viruses do not have a nucleus, prokaryotic or otherwise. C) Single chromosome - This is not a typical description of viral genetic material. D) Both DNA and RNA - Viruses do not contain both DNA and RNA at the same time.
