Which of the following is wrongly matched in the given table:-   Virus Nucleic Acid 1) Pox virus ds DNA 2) Myxo virus ss RNA 3) TMV ss RNA 4) Adeno virus ss DNA

Which of the following is wrongly matched in the given table:-   Virus Nucleic Acid 1) Pox virus ds DNA 2) Myxo virus ss RNA 3) TMV ss RNA 4) Adeno virus ss DNA Correct Answer 4

Key Points
  • Virus is a microscopic, infectious agent that can multiply only inside living cells.
  • They are considered to be non-cellular biological entities as they lack cellular structures.
  • They are composed of a nucleic acid enclosed in a protein covering called capsid.
  • The nucleic acid present in the virus can be either DNA or RNA.
  • Viruses can be categorized based on their nucleic acids:
    • ds-DNA virus - They contain double-stranded DNA as their nucleic acid component.
    • ss-DNA virus - They have single-stranded DNA.
    • ds-RNA virus - They have double-stranded RNA molecule.
    • ss-RNA virus - They contain single-stranded RNA.

Important Points

  • The given viruses and their corresponding nucleic acids are:
    • Poxvirus - ds DNA
    • Myxovirus - ss RNA
    • TMV (Tobacco Mosaic Virus) - ss RNA
    • Adenovirus - ds DNA
  • In the given question, the adenovirus has been wrongly matched with ss-DNA nucleic acid.
  • Hence, the correct answer is option (4).

Additional Information

  • Poxvirus - They are a family of viruses that cause various diseases in humans and other animals that leads to skin lesions or nodules.
  • Myxovirus - This is a group of viruses that are responsible for diseases like influenza and mumps.
  • TMV - The tobacco mosaic virus infects tobacco and other members of Solanaceae family to cause mosaic-like discoloration in the leaves.
  • Adenovirus - These typically cause respiratory illnesses like bronchitis, pneumonia and also conjunctivitis.

Consider the following statements about DNA Sequencing: 1. DNA Sequencing is used to detect the presence of a complementary sequence by hybridization with a nucleic acid sample. 2. DNA sequencing is the process of determining the nucleic acid sequence - the order of nucleotides in DNA. Which of the above statements is/are incorrect?
In a batch process, the reaction takes place in the presence of an acid medium. The acid is drained from the reaction vessel at the rate of 15ml/s as a result of the density difference of the acid from the reacting component. To avoid wastage of acid, it is recycled to an acid tank which has 1000 L capacity. The acid drained from the reaction vessel, picks up 50 g/L solids from the reactor. Acid is fed once again to the process from acid tank. When the process is started, the acid is almost pure in the tank as a result of filtration. As the reaction proceeds, acid in the tank gets more and more contaminated with the solids. The concentration of the solids should not exceed 100 g/L from the process point of view. The batch time is 16h. Estimate whether the concentration of the solids will exceed 100g/L during the batch reaction.
