Question
A virus differs from a bacterium as it (virus) contains
Answer: Option D
:
D
A virus differs from a bacterium as it contains either DNA or RNA as genetic material, and has no ribosomes. Since theydo not possess ribosomes, they cannot independently form proteins from molecules ofmessenger RNA (as ribosomes are typically where protein synthesis happens in cells). Because of these limitations, viruses can replicate only within a living host cell.
