Which of the following processes does NOT contribute to the evolution of coronaviruses?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Genome reassortment is a process typical of viruses with segmented genomes, allowing them to exchange whole segments of their genetic material. Coronaviruses, however, have a non-segmented, single-stranded RNA genome, making reassortment not applicable to their evolution. Processes like random point mutations, the error rate of RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, selection in new host species, and RNA-RNA recombination are all mechanisms that contribute to the genetic diversity and evolution of coronaviruses.
