Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A virion is a complete virus particle that is outside a host cell and includes the genetic material (either DNA or RNA) surrounded by a protein coat called a capsid. The virion can also have additional structures such as an envelope that is acquired from the host cell membrane during the process of viral assembly and budding.
