The capsid is composed of

  • A.Peplomers
  • B.Nucleic acid
  • C.Capsomers
  • D.Envelope

Answer: C

Correct answer: Capsomers

The capsid is the protein shell around the genome, and it is built of repeating subunits called capsomers. Using many copies of one small protein is what lets a tiny genome specify a whole coat. Peplomers are the spikes on an envelope, which is a different structure again.
