DNA is NOT present in which one of the following ?

  • A.Bacteriophage T4
  • B.Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV)
  • C.Adenovirus
  • D.Chloroplast

Answer: B

DNA is not present in Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV).

TMV is a rod-shaped plant virus whose genome is a single strand of positive-sense RNA, about 6,400 nucleotides long, wrapped in a helical coat of identical protein subunits. Fraenkel-Conrat's reconstitution experiments with TMV showed that RNA can be genetic material.

The others contain DNA. Bacteriophage T4 and adenovirus both have double-stranded DNA genomes, and chloroplasts carry their own circular DNA, about 120 to 160 kilobase pairs, which encodes the large subunit of RuBisCO among other genes.
