Question

If RNA extracted from a virus was injected into a host cell, the cell will not begin to make new viruses. TRUE FALSE

Answer 1

I think that it is true

Answer 2

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The genetic material of a virus cannot replicate on its own , therefore it needs a host cell. Now,  when the RNA of the virus is introduced into the host cell, the processes such as uncoating, replication, and assembly causes incorporation of genetic material of virus into the genetic material host cell, thereby  causing replication of viral genome. Replication of viral genome is equivalent to formation of new viruses.

Hence, If RNA extracted from a virus was injected into a host cell, the cell will  begin to make new viruses.

Therefore, the given statement is false
