Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option C: Virion
Concept:

Terminology in virology strictly defines different states and structures of the virus.

Solution:

  • A virion is the fully assembled, mature, and infectious viral particle capable of transmitting its genome to a new host cell.
  • It includes the genome, the capsid, and occasionally an envelope.


Why other options are incorrect:

  • Genome/Capsid: These are merely parts of the virion.
  • Venom: Refers to a biological toxin, not an infectious particle.

Quality & Fidelity Assurance: Every question on BeambePrep is rigorously curated against the official PMDC syllabus with zero filler, zero out-of-syllabus content, and zero typos. When an authentic past paper originally contained a historical mistake or ambiguity from the examining board (such as UHS or NUMS), BeambePrep faithfully reflects the original paper while detailing the nuance and scientific consensus in the autopsy above.
