Bacteriophage
Correct. For APEX it is, A protective shell around a virus.
the parts are: the head or the capsid which contains the plasmid. it has protein subunits called capsomeres. another part is the sheath which contains the viral DNA tail fibers, base pate and pin for attachment to the host's cell.
bacteriophage
helical capsid, icosahedral capsid and polyhedron capsid.
The type of virus that infects a bacteria is called a bacteriophage. An example of such a bacteriophage is the T3 bacteriophage.

A virus that infects bacteria is called a bacteriophage
There are 4 types of viruses with different shapes. Tobacco Mosaic Virus - Rod-shaped due to its helical capsid. Adenoviruses - Icosahedral capsid with glycoprotein spikes edging out at each vertex. Influenza Viruses - Spherical. Outer envelope studded with glycoprotein spikes. Bacteriophage T4 - Consists of an icosahedral head, a long tail sheath and small tail fibers (leg-like appearance).
No. A bacteriophage is a virus that attacks bacteria.
The protein coat surrounding the nucleic acid of a virus is called the capsid. These are broadly classified according to their structures. Helical (cylindrical) and icosahedral (spherical) are the most common types.
