These viral particles, also known as virions, consist of two or three parts: the genetic material made from either DNA or RNA, long molecules that carry genetic information, a protein coat, called the capsid, which surrounds and protects the genetic material.

Answer: C. capsid

Explanation:

All viruses have the same basic structure: a core of nucleic acid surrounded by protein. Individual viruses contain only a single type of nucleic acid, either DNA or RNA. Viruses are frequently classified by the nature of their genomes. RNA-based viruses are known as retroviruses. Nearly all viruses form a protein sheath, or capsid, around their nucleic acid core. The capsid is formed of one to a few different protein molecules duplicated many times. In some viruses, specific enzymes are stored within the capsid.

katovenus [111]

Gel filtration and SDS-PAGE could be used for determining a molecular weight of proteins, such as tyrosinase. In both methods, molecules are separated based on their size. Gel filtration measures the molecular weight of native proteins and SDS-PAGE measures the molecular weight of denaturated proteins.
