Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Budding is the mechanism by which an enveloped virus leaves a host cell. During budding, the virus acquires its envelope from the host cell's membrane and exits the cell by budding through the membrane, taking some of the host cell's membrane with it. This process results in the formation of a membrane-bound vesicle containing the virus.
