Which of the following statements is false?
Options
- ATMV has a double-stranded RNA molecule.
- BMost plant viruses are RNA viruses.
- CThe bacteriophage has a double-stranded DNA molecule.
- DMost animal viruses lack ssDNA and can have dsDNA as their genetic material.
Correct answer
A. TMV has a double-stranded RNA molecule.
Step-by-step solution
TMV has single stranded RNA as its genetic material. Most plant virus generally have single stranded RNA as its genetic material. Bacteriophages generally have ds DNA as its genetic material. ssDNA is present only in few bacteriophages as their genetic material.
