Interferons:  

The body releases glycoproteins as the defensive response to virus are called interferons.

The interferons initiate the series of molecular changes and elicit the immune cells to fight the pathogens or foreign particles. These interferons affect the growth of cells and inflammation. Interferons are the cytokines and are responsible for intercellular signalling. The interferons does not directly affect the multiplication of virus instead, it does not let other cells allow virus to use its machinery and replicate. Interferons are of three types: alpha, beta and gamma. The gamma interferon is majorly responsible for the immune response.

I believe you mean mid-ocean ridge?

If so, true.

A mid-ocean ridge or mid-oceanic ridge is an underwater mountain range, formed by plate tectonics.

This uplifting of the ocean floor occurs when convection currents rise in the mantle beneath the oceanic crust and create magma where two tectonic plates meet at a divergent boundary.

A mid-ocean ridge demarcates the boundary between two tectonic plates, and consequently is termed a divergent plate boundary.

Which description is true for both DNA and RNA molecules
GrogVix [38]

The correct answer is A.

Both DNA and RNA are types of nucleic acids.  DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid , while RNA stands for ribonucleic acid.

Both DNA and RNA carry genetic information. However,  DNA is chiefly responsible for storing and transferring genetic information whereas RNA acts as a messenger between DNA and ribosomes during the process of protein synthesis and directly codes for amino acids.

DNA is double stranded while RNA is single stranded.

DNA has thymine in its structure but RNA does not. Instead in place of thymine it has uracil.
