Question

the ______ is the full complement of dna and rna carried by a cell.

$circ$ capside

$circ$ genome

$circ$ nucleocapside

$circ$ spike

Explanation:

• Capside (capsid) is the protein shell of a virus, not related to DNA/RNA complement of a cell.
• Genome is defined as the complete set of genetic material (DNA or RNA) in a cell or organism, matching the description.
• Nucleocapside is the combination of a virus's nucleic acid and capsid, not for a cell's DNA/RNA complement.
• Spike is a protein structure on some viruses, irrelevant here.

Answer:

B. genome
