Solution
The correct option is C 158
Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) is a single-stranded RNA virus which infects the plants belonging to the family of Solanaceae. It is a rod-shaped virus, the capsid is made from the protein coat and the genetic material. There are protein subunits known as capsomeres. The genetic material is a single-stranded viral particle. The protein monomer units consists of 158 amino acids which are assembled into four main alpha-helices, joined by a prominent loop proximal to the axis of the virion. Thus, the correct answer is option B.
