Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct term for a virus particle outside of a living cell is a virion. A virion is a complete infectious unit consisting of nucleic acid surrounded by a protein coat. The term "virulent" refers to the ability of a virus to cause disease, and "virulant" and "virusette" are not recognized scientific terms. "Infectoid" is not a term commonly used to refer to viruses.
