Question

*In most viruses, __________ is found as the genetic material.*

1. DNA
2. RNA
3. Endoplasmic Reticulum
4. Exons​

Answer 1

Answer:

In most viruses, RNA is found as the genetic material.

Explanation:

A virus has either a DNA or an RNA genome and is called a DNA virus or an RNA virus, respectively. The vast majority of viruses have RNA genomes.

virus having RNA as genetic material such type of viruses are more unstable due to which they can mutate easily.

Answer 2

Answer:

In most viruses, DNA or RNA is found as the genetic material.

Explanation:

• Nucleic acid makes up the genetic material (or genome) of all viruses. DNA serves as your genetic material, just like it does in all other cell-based life.
• However, viruses can utilize either RNA or DNA, which are both classes of nucleic acid.
• Since this is generally the case in our own cells, we frequently think of DNA as being double-stranded and RNA as being single-stranded.
• However, viruses can exist in any strandedness and nucleic acid type combinations (double-stranded DNA, double-stranded RNA, single-stranded DNA, or single-stranded RNA).
• Although they are often much smaller than the genomes of cellular creatures, viral genomes can also be found in a variety of shapes, sizes, and types.

Hence, options (1) and (2) both are correct.
