Helical capsids are usually formed from one protein that interlocks to form a helix-like structure around the viral genome. They are usually more common among viruses that infect plants, though influenza, measles, mumps and rabies viruses all have helical capsids. They are 120 to 270 nm in diameter.

What are the three types of capsid?
The three types of capsid are helical, icosahedral, and complex. Helical capsids have a cylindrical shape, icosahedral capsids have a polyhedral shape with 20 equilateral triangular faces, and complex capsids have a combination of both helical and icosahedral elements.
What shape is a hepatitis a virus?
Coccus is the shape and some pictures ive seen is Staphylo Staphylo-Coccus
What gives a virus its shape?
There are two major forms of shapes when it comes to viruses. Rods or filaments, and spheres. The shape is due to the linear array of nucleic acid and the protein subunits, which make up the capsid.
What is the protein coat that surounds a virus called?
The envelope.
What is the protein coat the surrounds a virus call?
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.
Which does not refer to the shape of a virus?
A bacillus does not refer to the shape of a virus. The capsid of a virus is what determines the shape of a virus.
What shape do viruses assume?
Viruses can assume various shapes, including helical, icosahedral, spherical, and complex shapes. The shape of a virus is determined by its structure and composition of proteins that make up the viral capsid.
What is the potein coat that surrounds a virus?
This coat is called a capsid. Sometimes these have a lipid envelope.
Can you get blisters with German measles?

Does congruent mean having the same size and shape?
Yes, it does. A congruent shape has the same shape and size as another shape. A shape that is similar is the same shape, just a different size, like a proportion.
What is the error in shape size or distance?
error in shape,size,or distance
Does gas have a no definit size or shape?
Nope!! No definite shape or size!
