Some viruses can be crystallized and their structures analyzed. one such virus is yellow mottle virus, which infects beans. this

virus has a single-stranded rna genome containing about 6,300 nucleotides. its capsid is 25–30 nm in diameter and contains 180 identical capsomeres. if the yellow mottle virus capsid has 20 facets, how many proteins form each facet?

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.

Imagine that there is a mutation in the cyclin gene such that its gene product is nonfunctional. What kind of effect would this
Daniel [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is - The cell would be unable to produce.

Explanation:

Cyclin is a protein that helps in cell division to complete the various stages. It has an essential function, however, cyclin does not play role in enzymatic reactions bit bind with cyclin-dependent kinase enzyme they form maturation promoting factors which can phosphorylate specific proteins and result in many different stages of the cell cycle.

Mutation in cyclin gene that did not allow to produce cyclin protein will cease the cell cycle and there would be no future daughter cell and the cell would not be able to produce.

Question 2 of 25
Kitty [74]

Answer:

The structure labeled X in the diagram is a membrane protein.

Explanation:

Membrane proteins are integral parts of the cell membrane that enable the transfer of ions like sodium, potassium and chlorine and small molecules like glucose through the lipid bilayer. They differ from other types of cell proteins by their structure. As you can see on the diagram, hey form channels that enable specific ions or molecules to pass to the other side of the membrane.
