Which of the following statements is wrong for viroids?

  1. They cause infections.
  2. Their RNA is of high molecular weight.
  3. They lack a protein coat.
  4. They are smaller than viruses.

Answer

(2) Their RNA is of high molecular weight.

Solution

As per NCERT, a viroid (discovered by T.O. Diener, 1971) is an infectious agent smaller than viruses that causes potato spindle tuber disease.

⇒ It is a free RNA lacking the protein coat, and this RNA is of low molecular weight.

∴ "Their RNA is of high molecular weight" is wrong.

Answer: (2)
