On the basis of nucleus, virus should be placed under
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
Viruses are acellular and do not possess a cellular structure or nucleus. Therefore, they cannot be classified as either:
• Prokaryotes → cellular organisms without a true nucleus
• Eukaryotes → cellular organisms with a true nucleus
Since viruses have no nucleus at all, they fit into neither category.
