Ques. 1AIPMT 2015

Select the wrong statement.

  1. The term ' contagium vivum fluidum' was coined by M. W. Beijerinck.
  2. Mosaic disease in tobacco and AIDS in human being are caused by viruses.
  3. The viroids were discovered by D.J. Ivanowsky.
  4. W.M. Stanley showed that viruses could be crystallised.

Answer

(3) The viroids were discovered by D.J. Ivanowsky.

Solution

As per NCERT, M.W. ⁠‌‌‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‌‌Beijerinck (1898) called the fluid ' contagium vivum fluidum' (infectious living fluid). ⇒ (1) is correct.

Tobacco mosaic disease (TMV) and AIDS (HIV) are viral diseases. ⇒ (2) is correct.

W.M. Stanley (1935) showed that viruses could be crystallised. ⇒ (4) is correct.

As per NCERT, viroids were discovered by T.O. Diener (1971); D.J. Ivanowsky (1892) recognised the causal organism of mosaic disease of tobacco (viruses).

∴ Statement (3) is wrong.

Answer: (3)
