Question

2: The spike-like projections on the viral capsid are known as​

Answer 1

Answer:

The protein coat (capsid) and the nucleic acid together are the nucleocapsid. "Virion" refers to the entire virus. ... Many viruses have projections which are given various names, but are usually called spikes (long thin projections) or peplomers (fatter projections).

Answer 2

Peplomers.

A cloaking cover comprised of a protein-lipid mixture with glycoprotein projection from the surface is used by  some of the viruses. These virus, such as mumps, conceal their identity by using glycoprotein spikes to mimic a normal proteins and thereby connect to receptors located on the host's cell membrane and finally spread in the body causing health issues in the body .
