Question

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, these fragments are
Bacteriophage
a. Fatty acids and amino acids
b. Amino acids and glycerol
C. Nucleotides and amino acids
d. Fatty acids and nucleotides

Answer 1

OPTION C :NUCLEOTIDES AND AMINO ACIDS

Step-by-step explanation:

viruses are made of:

DNA(composed of) ------>NUCLEOTIDES

RNA (composed of) ------->NUCLEOTIDES

PROTEIN (composed of) ----->AMINO ACIDS

WHEN THESE MOLECULES (DNA,RNA PROTEIN) ARE BROKEN INTO SMALLER MOLECULE(THEIR CONSTITUENT)

THEY RELEASE THEIR CONSITUENT MOLECULES WHICH ARE AMINO ACIDS AND NUCLEOTIDES

WRONG CHOICES:WHY?

FATTYACIDS AND GLYCEROLS ARE CONSITUENTS OF LIPIDS WHICH DONOT MAKE UP VIRUS AND HENCE NOT RELEASED WHEN BROKEN INTO FRAGMENT.
