During uncoating,

  • A.the envelope is acquired from the host membrane
  • B.the virion disaggregates, freeing the genome
  • C.the capsid is assembled around a new genome
  • D.progeny particles leave the cell

Answer: B

Uncoating is the disaggregation of the particle, alone or with help from cellular enzymes, which sets the stage for the genome to be read. Assembly and envelopment happen much later, and egress is the final step of the cycle.
