Amicrobiologist analyzes chemicals obtained from an enveloped rna virus that infectsmonkeys. he finds that the viral envelope contains a protein characteristic of monkey cells. which of the following is the most likely explanation?

The virus envelope came from the monkey's cells membrane.

Explanation:

Some virus has its viral genome packaged in a protein structure called capsid. This capsid in some virus is usually surrounded by a lipid bilayer that came from the host cells. As virus needs host cells for their reproduction, when the viral particles are ready to leave the host cell, this viral particles pass through the cell membrane (which is composed of a bilayer of lipids, proteins and carbohydrates) and takes with them part of this membrane. For this reason, is commonly found non-viral molecules in the virus that come from the host.

colors do exist. the color of the sky is actually violet; humans percieve the color of the sky as blue.
