- 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.

- Consider the diameter of a spherical object being measured with the help of a Vernier Callipers. Suppose its 10 Vernier Scale Divisions (V.S.D.) are equal to its 9 Main Scale Divisions (M.S.D.). The least count in the M.S. is 0.1 cm and the zero of V.S. is at -0.1 cm when the jaws of Vernier callipers are closed. If the main scale reading for the diameter is \(M = 5\) cm and the number of coinciding vernier division is 8, the measured diameter after zero error correction, is:

- A container has two chambers of volumes \(V_1 = 2\) litres and \(V_2 = 3\) litres separated by a partition made of a thermal insulator. The chambers contain \(n_1 = 2\) moles and \(n_2 = 3\) moles of ideal gas at pressures \(p_1 = 1\) atm and \(p_2 = 2\) atm, respectively. When the partition is removed, the mixture attains an equilibrium pressure of :
