In the Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV), hereditary material is ________ .
- Asingle stranded DNA
- Correct answerBsingle stranded RNA
- Cdouble stranded DNA
- Ddouble stranded RNA
Solution
Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV) is a plant virus that causes mosaic disease in tobacco and other members of the family Solanaceae.
The genetic material of TMV is a positive-sense single-stranded RNA (ssRNA).
Therefore, the hereditary material in TMV is single-stranded RNA.
Answer: single stranded RNA
The genetic material of TMV is a positive-sense single-stranded RNA (ssRNA).
Therefore, the hereditary material in TMV is single-stranded RNA.
Answer: single stranded RNA
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
