A structurally complete virus is called
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is B Virion
- Viruses are acellular structure and are composed of rigid protein shell (capsid) surrounding nucleic acid (ss or ds RNA or DNA).
- Viroids are the smaller infectious pathogens that consist of only nucleic acid and no protein coat. Thus, a virus without its protein coat is termed a viroid.
- The complete, infective form of a virus outside a host cell, with a core of RNA or DNA and a capsid, is known as Virion.
- Integration of genome of temperate phage with that of host DNA leads to the formation of the provirus.
