Explanation / Answer

42. Viroids are the smallest, and low molecular weight infectious particles. They are composed solely of a short strand of circular, single-stranded RNA without protein coat. They mainly infect plant and animals that eat them.

Hence, the correct option is all of them are true.

43. The exception is Prion diseases of animals are not transmissible to humans.

44. All are correct

45. The false statement is They are the relatives of chloroplasts.

46. The false statement is Taenia solium is the beef tapeworm.

47. lactose

48. all of the above are true.
