What is virion?
A virion is an entire virus particle. It is the complete form of a virus with an outer protein shell, an inner core of DNA or RNA, and a capsid.
How do you classify a virus?
Nature of the nucleic acid in the virionSymmetry of the protein shellPresence or absence of a lipid membraneDimensions of the virion and capsid
Differences between bacteria and virus?
Bacteria is live and a virus is not. This also means that only a bacteria infection or illness can be killed with antibiotics.
What is the difference of PROVIRUS and VIRION?
A provirus is the virus' genetic material integrated with the genetic material of the host cell. Some viruses stay in this form inside a cell until a specific stimulus causes the provirus to start to reproduce and lyse, or burst, the cell. For instance, some prophages (a provirus from a bacteriophage) the process doesn't continue until UV radiation hits the bacterium. A virion is the name of the actual virus particle. The virion is comprised of the capsid and the DNA (or RNA) of the virus. The term virion is used in a similar way that bacterium is when referring to a single bacterial cell. Some virions, such as HIV also have a phospholipid bilayer that they gain by 'budding' from the host cell. When a cell is lysed the provirus gives way to viral progeny, the virions.
What are the differences between a virus and a parasite?
A parasite is an organism that lives in or on another organism (the host) and benefits by deriving nutrients at the host's expense. A virus is a form of parasite.
What is virion?

What is the term for a virus particle that does not have a host?
A Virion.
What is the another name for an intact virus particle?
Virion
What is a single cell virus particle called?
A virion.
How big is the Alfalfa mosaic virus?
It is rather small. The range for the length of the virion particle is about 30-57 nm. Since it is a virion , it is smaller than any virus.
What structural property of a virion has in common with cellular organism?
A virion is the infectious form of a virus outside of the cell before it invades. Both cells and viruses have genetic material.
What a biological particle composed of a nucleic acid core and a protein cover is called a?
Virus (singular-virion)

When did Pierre Virion die?
Pierre Virion died in 1988.

How do you classify viruse?
Virus is classified based on four characteristics. They are dimensions of capsid and virion, absence or presence of envelope, symmetry of capsid and nature of nucleic acid.
