Question

Spherical Viruses (ISOMETRIC, ICOSAHEDRAL):

A) Have a spherical shape with a symmetrical icosahedral structure.
B) Have a spherical shape with a helical structure.
C) Have a spherical shape with a complex irregular structure.
D) Have a spherical shape with a cuboidal structure.

Answer 1

Icosahedral viruses have a spherical shape with a symmetrical icosahedral structure.

Step-by-step explanation:

Icosahedral viruses have a spherical shape with a symmetrical icosahedral structure. The protein subunits are arranged in a regular geometrical pattern, similar to a soccer ball. This shape is the most efficient way of creating a hardy structure from multiple copies of a single protein.
