It refers to the final changes within an immature virion that result in a virus particle
Correct answer: D. Maturation
- A. Assembly
- B. Coating
- C. Integration
- D. Maturation
Explanation
The question specifically asks about the final changes within an immature virion that make it infectious. While assembly is the step where viral components come together to form the virion, the particle at that stage is usually not yet infectious. Maturation is the process that converts the immature virion into a fully infectious virus, which matches the description in the question perfectly.

About Biodiversity and Variety of Life
Biological classification uses taxonomic ranks, binomial nomenclature and shared characteristics to organize life into kingdoms. The major groups include prokaryotes, protists, fungi, plants and animals, with comparisons based on cell type, cell wall, nutrition, body organization, reproduction and evolutionary relationships; prokaryotes lack a membrane-bound nucleus.
