Answer 1

This is untrue about viruses that they infect animal and plant cells only

Explanation:

Viruses are acellular entities. They do not replicate without host. First of all, they enter the host cell/organism and by using the host machinery, they make multiple copies inside the host.

They can choose one of the two ways: either lytic or lysogenic path.

Viruses are of different type, some contain RNA genome and some contain DNA.

They can infect bacteria, animals, plants etc.

They are very small and not able to see by naked eyes and only seen by microscope.
