The correct answer is 9 proteins form each of the 20 facets of this virus. A capsid is the protein shell that surrounds a virus. A capsomere is the subunit of the capsid. Depending on the virus, capsomeres arrange in many different shapes to form the capsid. The yellow mottle virus has 20 facets, this means that it has an icosahedral capsid. Since it contains 180 identical capsomeres, we can conclude that 9 proteins form each facet.

6) as an example, a blue tongue skink has a blue tongue which is very common in venomous animals. Whenever said skink is threatened, it puffs up, opens its mouth, and hisses. When most predators see the tongue, they assume it’s venomous/poisonous because of the bright color. Another example would be milk snakes who look like coral snakes to scare away predators
