Identify the incorrect statement:
1. | Virus has a protein coat called capsid made of small subunits called capsomeres. |
2. | The core has the genetic material - either RNA or DNA or both. |

4. | Viruses can infect any type of organism. |
Identify the incorrecty statement:
1. Numerical Taxonomy is based on all observable characteristics.
2. More weightage is given to reproductive characters and all other characters are given equal importance in numerical taxonomy.
3. Cytotaxonomy is based on cytological information like chromosome number, structure, behaviour
4. Chemotaxonomy uses the chemical constituents of the plant
