What are two types of capsid?
Helical and Icosahedral.
How many faces does a icoahedron have?
It is icosahedral 20
What is the general shape of viruses?
A virus can have one of two structures. These are: •Helical virus. A helical virus is rod- or thread-shaped. The virus that causes rabies is a helical virus. •Icosahedral virus. An icosahedral virus is spherically shaped. Viruses that cause poliomyelitis and herpes simplex are icosahedral viruses.
How many sides does a Icosahedral have?
An Icosahedron has 20 triangular sides. yay
Are viruses classified by their shape?
A virus can have one of two structures. These are: •Helical virus. A helical virus is rod- or thread-shaped. The virus that causes rabies is a helical virus. •Icosahedral virus. An icosahedral virus is spherically shaped. Viruses that cause poliomyelitis and herpes simplex are icosahedral viruses.
What are the three types of capsid?
helical capsid, icosahedral capsid and polyhedron capsid.
Brief introduction of icosahedral structure of virus?
20 sided ( or facets) vertex (12 evenly spaced corners)
What is structure viruses?
A virus has a protein coat called a capsid with either DNA or RNA inside. A virus can have one of three structures. These are: 1. Helical virus. A helical virus is rod- or thread-shaped. The virus that causes rabies is a helical virus. 2. Icosahedral virus. An icosahedral virus is spherically shaped. Viruses that cause poliomyelitis and herpes simplex are icosahedral viruses. 3. Polyhedral Cylindrical shapes: Tobacco mosaic virus Wheat streak virus Hepatitis C
What is andenovirus?
A non-enveloped icosahedral DNA virus commonly causing gastroenteritis. It is the second most common cause of viral gastro, second to the rotavirus.
Is adenavirus and RNA virus?
Adenovirus have an icosahedral capsid with a glycoprotein spike at each vertex and has DNA as their genome. RNA is not an virus, but a macromolecule (nucleic acid)
Is decahedral a regular polyhedron?
no because they don't have the same sides or vertices as the regular ones which are tetrahedral, octahedral, dodecahedral, icosahedral, they are all regular polydrons but not decahedral
What shapes do virus assume?
Viruses can be helical and icosahedral forms or even more complex structures. Most viruses are about one one-hundredth the size of the average bacterium.
