Question

eplication. Virus-infected cells secrete interferons to "warn" other cells of the presence of virus and these other cells to inhibit viral replication.
A. True
B. False

Answer 1

Answer:

B). False.

Explanation:

The given statement asserts a false claim as it incorrectly states that 'virus-infected cells produce interferons to 'warn' the other cells about the presence of the virus and the other cells hamper the replication of the virus.' The statement should rather involve that 'The only type-I(alpha and beta) interferon is secreted by the virus-infected cells which do not warn but rather serve to defend against the viral infection and modulate immune responses. Thus, the interferons exhibit effective antiviral responses. Therefore, the statement is considered false.
