Question

in which step of the diagram does the virus release a protein that caused the cell wall to burst?
step c
step d
step e
step f

Explanation:

To determine when the virus releases a protein to burst the cell wall, we analyze each step:

• Step C: Cell division (not bursting).
• Step D: Likely viral replication (not bursting).
• Step E: Shows viral components assembling (not bursting).
• Step F: The cell appears to be lysing (bursting), which is when the virus releases proteins to break the cell wall, releasing new virions.

Answer:

step F
