Ans. The correct answer would depend on the options provided. The options are NOT provided in the question.

However, few characteristic differences between viruses and bacteria can be listed as-

I. except Cellular architecture/ organization- Both viruses and bacteria have nucleic acid (through virus can have ss/ds RNA/DNA as genetic material whereas bacteria has only dsDNA as its genetic material), proteins, carbohydrates and lipids. However, the one of the primary differences between viruses and bacteria is the lack of cellular organization (say, cell wall surrounding the cytoplasm and its content, etc.) in viruses. That’s why viruses are called “acellular” organisms – the organisms lacking cellular architecture.

II. Similarly, protein capsid is unique to viruses. That is, bacteria don’t have a protein capsid.

III. except Absolute requirement of a host for replication: Being obligate parasite, viruses require a host cell to replication. Mot bacteria can replication independently without requiring a host.
