Title: What is the main structural difference between enveloped and nonenveloped viruses?
Post by: ceybe on Nov 16, 2017
What is the main structural difference between enveloped and nonenveloped viruses?
A) Enveloped viruses have their genetic material enclosed by a protein or phospholipid coat.
B) Nonenveloped viruses have only a phospholipid membrane, while enveloped viruses have two membranes, the other one being a protein capsid.
C) Enveloped viruses have a phospholipid membrane outside their capsid, whereas nonenveloped viruses do not.
D) Both viruses have a capsid and phospholipid membrane, but, in the nonenveloped virus, the genetic material is between these two membranes, while in the enveloped virus the genetic material is inside both membranes.
