Answer:

The correct answer is c. That is 9 protein to form each facet

Explanation:

Given that the capsids is 25-30nm in diameter and it contains 180 identical capsomeres, if the virus capsid has 20 facets in 180 capsomeres, then for each protein facet, it will contain 9 protein facets.

Thai is 180 capsomeres divided by total number of facets (20).

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

(x - 1)(x - 2)(x + 3)

Explanation:

f(x)=x3-7x+6 Since (a + b + c + d = 0), then f(1) = 0 --> one factor if (x - 1).

After division -->

f(x)=(x-1)(x2f2+x-6). The trinomial in parentheses can be factored.

Find 2 numbers knowing sum (1) and product (-6). They are -2 and 3.

Therefor, f(x)=(x-1)(x-2)(x+3)
