- Bacteriophage
- Infectious protein
- Free infectious DNA
- Free infectious RNA
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
1971 T.O.Diener discovered viroids which are infectious agents. They consist of very low molecular weight RNA without any protein coat. These are smaller than viruses that cause potato spindle tuber disease chrysanthemum stunt etc.

Questions Asked in NEET exam
- Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.
Assertion A : The potential (V) at any axial point, at 2 m distance(r) from the centre of the dipole of dipole moment vector \(\vec{P}\) of magnitude, 4 × 10-6 C m, is ± 9 × 103 V.
(Take \(\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}=9\times10^9\) SI units)
Reason R : \(V=±\frac{2P}{4\pi \epsilon_0r^2}\), where r is the distance of any axial point, situated at 2 m from the centre of the dipole.
