Uncoating refers to

  • A.removal of glycoprotein spikes by proteases
  • B.assembly of the capsid around new genomes
  • C.disaggregation of the virion to expose the genome
  • D.loss of the envelope during budding

Answer: C

After penetration the virion comes apart, on its own or with the help of cellular enzymes, so that the nucleic acid becomes available for transcription and replication. Until uncoating happens the genome is inert, which is the step amantadine blocks in influenza.
