Which is NOT a property of viruses?

  • A.Possession of a protein coat
  • B.Possession of nucleic acid
  • C.Growth in size before dividing
  • D.Obligate intracellular replication

Answer: C

Correct answer: Growth in size before dividing

Viruses do not grow and divide. They are assembled from separately synthesised components, so a cell yields hundreds of complete particles at once rather than a parent particle enlarging and splitting. The other three are all defining properties: a protein coat, a nucleic acid genome, and replication only inside a host cell.
