Which statement is wrong for viruses?

1. All are parasites
2. All of them have helical symmetry
3. They have ability to synthesize nucleic acids and proteins
4. Antibiotics have no effect on them

Correct answer: All of them have helical symmetry

Solution

The wrong statement is that all viruses have helical symmetry, because viral shapes vary widely. Many viruses are helical, but others are icosahedral or complex, so this cannot be true for all viruses.
