Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Viruses are small living particles that cannot replicate without a host cell. They typically have a small number of genes, ranging from 3 to 200. Recombinant DNAs and plasmids are artificial DNA molecules used in genetic engineering and do not naturally occur in living organisms. Bacteria are single-celled organisms with their own genetic material and are capable of independent replication. Tumors are abnormal growths of cells and not a type of living particle.
