The complete, mature, and infectious virus particle is known as:
Correct answer: C. Virion
- A. Capsomere
- B. Genome
- C. Virion
- D. Capsid
Explanation
The correct answer is c. Virion. A virion is the complete, mature, and infectious virus particle, consisting of the viral genome (DNA or RNA) enclosed within a protective protein coat called the capsid. Unlike the genome or capsid alone, which are only parts of a virus, the virion represents the fully assembled unit capable of infecting host cells.

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.
