Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Viruses are the only group among the options provided that consist solely of genetic material (either DNA or RNA) encased in a protein coat, known as a capsid. Unlike parasites, bacteria, fungi, and yeasts, viruses lack the cellular structure and machinery necessary for independent reproduction, relying instead on infecting host cells to replicate.
