The Nucleocapsid Describes the Structure That Includes The

Question

The nucleocapsid describes the structure that includes the:
A) capsid and the genome
B) capsid and the envelope
C) envelope and the glycoproteins
D) helical capsid and an envelope
E) icosahedral capsid and an envelope

Accepted Answer

The nucleocapsid is the structure that includes the capsid and the genome. It does not include an envelope or glycoproteins, so options C, D, and E are incorrect. While some viruses may have an envelope, this is not necessarily a defining feature of a nucleocapsid, so option B is also incorrect.
