The answer is C.

A virus is made up of or consists of a nucleic acid in varying quantity which may either be RNA or DNA.

The nucleic acid is surrounded by a protein shell called a capsid. The word capsid comes from the Latin word  capsa which means box.The capsid and the nucleic acid within it are together referred to as nucleoprotein.The  capsid is made up of small sub units called capsomeres.

In many viruses, the nucleoprotein makes up the whole virus. More complex viruses have one or more further enclosing structures also made mostly of protein. These structures are referred to as envelopes and each envelop is specific to a particular virus.

A trail pattern leading away from the victim at a stabbing scene was most likely created by:
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer: B. Blood dripping from the murder weapon.

Explanation: In bloodstain pattern analysis, blood spatters behave in accordance with some scientific laws in relation to what caused the bloodshed, the position of the victim and the perpetrators, and the velocity at which the blood is spattered. Since the blood trail is leading away from the stabbed victim, the blood trail is most likely created by the dripping of blood from the murder weapon
