Layne · Answer 1

I believe this problem has the following choices:

> Denaturants may affect the tertiary structure of prions

> Prions are smaller than viruses, which are affected by radiation

> Prions are proteins

> Prions do not contain genetic information, which is affected by ionizing radiation

The correct answer is:

* Prions do not contain genetic information, which is affected by ionizing radiation
