Question

The genetic nature of TMV (Tobacco Mosaic Virus) as RNA was confirmed by:

• A. Stanley
• B. Beijerinck
• C. Frankel Conrot
• D. Iwanowski

Hint:

This finding was crucial for virology, proving that RNA can be genetic material and capable of causing infection independently of DNA.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Identifying key research contributions. It was Frankel Conrot who, through experimentations, confirmed that RNA is the genetic material of TMV, demonstrating that RNA alone could propagate the virus.
