e. A, B, and C are correct

Accepted Answer

Hello everyone. And in today's video we have the following problem which one of the following is not true about viruses. Remember that we're looking for them. Not true or the incorrect statement. Um on our answer choices. So let's jump straight into the problem. First of all, we have answer choice. A viruses are a similar or they do not contain cells. And this is actually a true statement because viruses are simply made up of this genetic code. Plus a protein code that protects it. It is mostly what viruses contained. And so viruses do not contain cell membranes and other parts of the cell. So they do not contain cells. And we're going to cancel it out. As this is a true statement. Moving on we have answer choice. B viruses cannot reproduce outside of the cell the cell host and looking at these answer choices A They know that we wrote here. They only contain genetic code and protein codes outside of the host. So they do not contain any of the machinery necessary for reproduction in their own. This is why they depend on the cell for reproduction. And we're going to cancel this out because it is a correct statement as well. Then we have that all viruses have an envelope. As we saw here we saw that all viruses have this protein code that protects them. So that is the envelope which makes us cancels out as it is a true statement as well. Then we have answer choice the all viruses are nuclear protein particles. This is actually an incorrect statement because of this word. Oh although there are some viruses that have nuclear protein particles, not all of them do so. We're going to highlight this as being our final answer. So thank you very much for sticking around until the end of the problem. I really hope this helps you.
