A complete, fully assembled virus particle is called a

  • A.virion
  • B.capsomere
  • C.protomer
  • D.viroid

Answer: A

A virion is the complete infectious particle: the nucleic acid together with its protein coat and, in some families, an envelope. A protomer is a single coat protein subunit and a capsomere a cluster of them, so both are parts of the particle rather than the whole. A viroid is a separate class of agent altogether.
