Question

Which of the following best describes the components of these infectious particles? Your answer: Capsid made of nucleic acids with a protein-studded membrane Interior proteins surrounded by geometric nucleic acids Interior nucleic acid genome surrounded by a capsid

Answer 1

Answer:

Interior nucleic acid genome surrounded by a capsid

Explanation:

These are viruses, and their structure is best explained as interior nucleic acid genome surrounded by a capsid.

Capsids are the protein shells. They're not made of nucleic acid.

Viruses contain genetic information, which is nucleic acids like DNA or RNA, inside the capsid. It's protected by the protein layer.
