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?
A) 1
B) 5
C) 9
D) 20
E) 180

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).

When the influenza virus enters into an epithelial cell within the respiratory tract, the infected cell responds by
Lena [83]

When the influenza virus enters an epithelial cell, the infected cell responds by posting antigens and acting as a flag for cytotoxic T cells.

<h3>What is the cell-mediated response?</h3>

The cell-mediated response is a type of immune response where the organism is able to respond to pathogens by immune cells.

Macrophages (as well as other immune cells ) can act during cell-mediated immune responses.

In conclusion, when the influenza virus enters an epithelial cell, the infected cell responds by posting antigens and acting as a flag for cytotoxic T cells.
