Question

The capsid of viruses

• A. Protect the nucleic acid
• B. Contain capsomeres arreanged in helical or polydral geometryric form
• C. Contains lipids also
• D. More than one option is correct

Answer 1

The correct option is D More than one option is correct

A capsid is the protein covering of a virus. It protects the nucleic acid. It is made up of subunits capsomeres. The capsomeres are arranged either in helical or polyhedral geometric form. It also has special sites on its surface to attach the virion to a host cell.

Thus, the correct answer is 'More than one option is correct.'
