Answer 1

Question :

Which is NOT true about viruses?

• A. are very small
• B. invade healthy cells
• C. contain genetic material
• D. are living

Answer :

• D. are living

Explanation:

• As we all know that, viruses are very small that we can't even see them with nakd eyes. To see viruses we need a good microscope. So, option A "are very small" is true. Hence, it is not the answer.

• Now, we also know that viruses use healthy cells as host and use these cells to produce more viruses which result in killing or damaging healthy cells. So, option B "invade healthy cells" is also true. Hence, it is also not the answer.

• We know that viruses have genetic materials inside them which are made up of nucleic acid. So, option C "contain genetic material" is also true. Hence, it is also not the answer.

• Viruses are not living as these are not made up of cells, instead they use cells of other organisms to multiply. So, option D "are living" is not true. Hence, option D is the correct answer of this question.
