Uncoating in which of these groups removes only portions of the capsid?

  • A.Papovaviruses
  • B.Herpesviruses
  • C.Adenoviruses
  • D.Reoviruses

Answer: D

Reovirus particles are only partly stripped, and transcription then proceeds inside the remaining core rather than from free nucleic acid. Poxviruses are uncoated in two distinct stages, which is another departure from the simple picture of a capsid falling away entirely.
