Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV) genes are

1. double stranded RNA
2. single stranded RNA
3. polynucleotides
4. proteinaceous

Correct answer: single stranded RNA

Solution

Tobacco Mosaic Virus is an RNA virus, and its genome is single-stranded RNA. Its protein coat is separate from its genetic material, so “proteinaceous” describes the capsid, not the genes.
