Question

Map Sapling Learning In numerous studies, treatment of prion preparations with ionizing and UV-radiation does not reduce transmission of disease, however, treatment with denaturants reduces disease transmission. What can be inferred from these observations? Choose all the true statements. Prions are smaller than viruses, which are affected by radiation. Prions do not contain genetic information, which is affected by ionizing radiation. ions are proteins. Denaturants may affect the tertiary structure of prions.

Explanation / Answer

ANSWER :

All options are correct regarding with the prions. Yes it is true that prions are smaller than viruses, prions do not contain genetic information because it is infectious proteins that can self replicate and due to this DNA and RNA are absent in prions and radiation harms it, prions are protein found in infectious material having different structure and also tertiary structure of prions may affected by denaturants.

So, above all options are correct.
