In virus-infected plants, the meristematic tissues in both apical and axillary buds are free of the virus because:
| 1. | the dividing cells are virus resistant. |
| 2. | meristems have anti-viral compounds. |
| 3. | the cell division of meristems is faster than the rate of viral multiplication. |
| 4. | Viruses cannot multiply within meristem cell(s). |
Fungicides and antibiotics are chemicals that:
| 1. | enhance yield and disease resistance. |
| 2. | kill pathogenic fungi and bacteria, respectively. |
| 3. | kill all pathogenic microbes. |
| 4. | kill pathogenic bacteria and fungi, respectively. |
