Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
(b) Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV) is elongated, rod shaped, most thoroughly studied plant virus, with 95% protein and 5% RNA by weight. RNA is genomic, i.e. genetic material which is single stranded, linear, helically coiled, 5 mu in length with 6500 nucleotides long.
