7.            Which statement among A-D is false regarding animal viral infections?

a.            Uncoating refers to the process of viral exit from the host cell

b.            Depending on the virus type, assembly of viruses may occur in the nucleus or cytoplasm

 

c.             Budding is a mechanism of virus exit that leads to acquisition of the envelope around the viral particles
