Viruses can bud from;
Correct answer: D. All of these
- A. Rough endoplasmic reticulum
- B. Golgi complex
- C. Nuclear envelope
- D. All of these
Explanation
The membrane stalk connecting the virion to the host membrane is constricted and severed to release the enveloped particle. Maturation: Most enveloped viruses undergo further proteolytic and conformational maturation steps during or after budding.Viruses can bud only when they exist inside the host cell. Virus can bud from RER, Golgi Apparatus and Nuclear membrane. Therefore, opt D is accurate

About Viruses
Viruses are acellular infectious particles made of genetic material enclosed by a protein capsid, sometimes with a lipid envelope. Their replication depends on a host cell and may follow lytic or lysogenic cycles, so viral structure and reproduction differ fundamentally from those of cellular organisms such as bacteria.
