Why does a virus with a host-derived envelope not usually kill the cell at the moment of release?

  • A.The virus stops replicating once budding starts
  • B.The cell membrane is not needed by the cell
  • C.Budding does not require the cell to be broken open
  • D.The envelope neutralises viral enzymes

Answer: C

A particle can take a patch of membrane and leave while the cell repairs itself, so release and cell death are separate events. A naked virus more often accumulates until the cell breaks, which is why the two groups differ in the kind of infection they tend to cause.
