The correct option is D.

A virus refers to an infectious micro organism that is made up of nucleic acid molecule that is enclosed within a protein coat. Viruses are only able to reproduce and multiply when they come in contact with living cells, in the absence of living cells they remain dormant and they do not show any sign of been a living thing. The nuclei acid molecule of a virus can be in form of a DNA molecule or a RNA molecule.

Answer: The answer is D/RNA or DNA core surrounded by a protein coat.

Explanation: One reason a virus is considered to be a particle rather than a cell is because structurally it is only a RNA or DNA core surrounded by a protein coat. It has none of the other features of bacterial cells.

Explain how the use of cell technology makes disease eradication possible.
Kaylis [27]

The post-eradication era is a period of history for which there has been no precedent whatsoever in terms of a zero base of immunity. Cessation of immunization will eventually create a population susceptible to widespread infection in the event of accidental or intentional reintroduction or re-emergence of the eradicated virus. Thus, even after immunization ceases, vaccine production must continue.

However, many currently available vaccines may not be appropriate for continued post-eradication vaccine production or reinstatement. Vaccines must be continually improved and ongoing vaccination research maintained. Other potentially useful antiviral strategies—antivirals, prophylaxis, and probiotics—must also be considered as means to strengthen the immune system and serve as adjuvant or prophylactic therapies.

In the case of polio, for example, it remains to be determined which vaccine (oral polio vaccine [OPV] or inactivated polio vaccine [IPV]), or variant thereof, should be produced in the post-eradication, post-vaccination era. A detailed plan for vaccine production will require more information on OPV-derived viral persistence and transmission, as well as continuing dialogue between public health and research communities in order to ensure that appropriate vaccination research continues.
