Solution

The statement regarding the composition of the nucleocapsid is False.

Explanation:

  1. The nucleocapsid is the complete structure of viral genomic material (either DNA or RNA) enclosed within a protective protein coat called a capsid.
  2. A nucleocapsid typically consists of:
    • Either DNA or RNA (not both)
    • Protein (the capsid itself)
  3. Lipids are not a standard component of the nucleocapsid; they may be associated with enveloped viruses, which have a lipid envelope surrounding the nucleocapsid but are not part of the nucleocapsid itself.

Thus, the correct answer is False.
