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.

How does DNA replicate? How does the idea of base pairing used in replication?
mixer [17]
DNA replicates typically before a cell divides. It follows a series of steps but in general DNA unzips - the base pairs that are 'exposed' are paired up with their matching 'other halves' (A-T and G-C) and you end up with 2 strands of DNA (each strand containing 1 original 'line' and one newly synthesized 'line')

sveta [45]

Answer:

defines a species as any group of actually or potentially interbreeding species that produce viable offspring.

Explanation:

<em>Biological species refers to a group of genetically and physically compatible organisms. These organisms are capable of mating or interbreeding and the offspring that result from this mating, as a rule of thumb, must be valid or fertile.</em>

Hence, species do not only share similar genetic materials (in form of DNA), they must also be physically compatible to mate and the resulting offspring from the mating must be fertile.
