MCQ IN MEDICINE

Detailed explanation-1: -All viruses have genetic material (a genome) made of nucleic acid. You, like all other cell-based life, use DNA as your genetic material. Viruses, on the other hand, may use either RNA or DNA, both of which are types of nucleic acid.

Detailed explanation-2: -Viruses are smaller and simpler in construction than unicellular microorganisms, and they contain only one type of nucleic acid-either DNA or RNA-never both.

Detailed explanation-3: -Yes. Most viruses have either RNA or DNA as their genetic material. The nucleic acid may be single-or double-stranded. The simplest viruses contain only enough RNA or DNA to encode four proteins.
