The protein coat of viruses is called the a. capsomere.
Viruses replicate by binary fission.
Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites. Prions are proteins that cause infectious diseases. A virus part that is involved in attachment and entry into cells is the a. capsomere. Aggregates of virions that sometimes are visible within a cell under a light microscope are called a. inclusion bodies. Viruses carried in the host for long periods of time without replication are called a. latent viruses.
