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.
1) If the yellow mottle virus capsid has 20 facets, how many proteins form each facet?

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).

All animals share several common characteristics. Which is a characteristic shared by all animals?
kirill [66]

Answer: multi-cellular bodies

Explanation: All animals are multi-cellular. This means that they are made up of many cells/cellular systems. Single-celled organisms, on the other hand, are not considered animals. Those would mostly be too tiny to see without the aid of a microscope tool. The other answer choices would not fit, because not all animals have bones (endoskeletons or exoskeletons). Also, only some animals are cold blooded, which is what the last answer choice has to do with.

Sperm whales, a(n) species, maintain their populations close to carrying capacity.
soldier1979 [14.2K]
The answer is K-selected.

<span>The population size of K-selected species is fairly constant in time, unlike the population size of r-selected species. r-selected species are usually bellow carrying capacity and the population size is density independent. On the contrary, K-selected species are usually near or at carrying capacity and the population size is density dependent. It can be concluded that sperm whales have K-selected populations, since they </span><span>maintain their populations close to carrying capacity.</span>

A scientist agrees with the scientific consensus that dinosaurs have scaly skin. Then he discovers a new fossil that indicates a
omeli [17]
The scientist who refuses to consider new evidence, assuming he or she is not biased or incompetent could do it because if there is a big amount of evidence indicating otherwise, this one new piece of evidence is unlikely and they prefer to wait for more evidence or for analysis of whether this current evidence is not false.

thus this scientist is being skeptical (practicing skepticism) by ignoring this new evidence.

Homeostatic control mechanisms are typically controlled unconsciously by the
kupik [55]

Homeostatic control mechanisms are typically controlled instinctively by the nervous system.  

The nervous system maintains homeostasis by regulating and controlling the other components of the body. A deviation from a usual set points functions as a stimulus to a receptor that transmits nerve impulses to a monitoring center in the brain.  

Along with the nervous system, the endocrine system synchronizes the functions of the body to sustain homeostasis at the time of exercise and rest.
