Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

Viruses are made up of either DNA or RNA surrounded by a coating of protein. When the two main substances that make up a virus are broken into smaller fragments, the fragments are ____

A	fatty acids and amino acids
B	amino acids and simple sugars
C	amino acids and nucleotides
D	fatty acids and glycerol

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -A virus is an infectious microbe consisting of a segment of nucleic acid (either DNA or RNA) surrounded by a protein coat. A virus cannot replicate alone; instead, it must infect cells and use components of the host cell to make copies of itself.

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.
