Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option D: Parvovirus
Concept:

While most DNA viruses are double-stranded, there are specific exceptions in viral taxonomy.

Solution:

  • Parvovirus is a unique and medically significant virus because it is the primary family of viruses containing a single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) genome.


Why other options are incorrect:

  • Adenovirus, Herpes virus, Pox virus: All of these contain double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) genomes.

Quality & Fidelity Assurance: Every question on BeambePrep is rigorously curated against the official PMDC syllabus with zero filler, zero out-of-syllabus content, and zero typos. When an authentic past paper originally contained a historical mistake or ambiguity from the examining board (such as UHS or NUMS), BeambePrep faithfully reflects the original paper while detailing the nuance and scientific consensus in the autopsy above.
