Viruses Infecting ________ are Typically the Easiest to Grow in the Laboratory

Question

Viruses infecting ________ are typically the easiest to grow in the laboratory.
A) plants
B) animals
C) fungi
D) prokaryotes

Accepted Answer

Viruses that infect prokaryotes, specifically bacteriophages (viruses that infect bacteria), are typically the easiest to grow in the laboratory because bacteria can be grown easily and rapidly in culture media, making the process of cultivating and studying these viruses more straightforward compared to viruses that infect eukaryotic cells (plants, animals, fungi).
