What does surrounds the hereditary material of a virus?
The capsid. Made of protein, and sometimes various types of proteins.
What part of a virus does not enter the host?
Generally, the protein coat that surrounds the viral genetic material and any reverse trascriptase enzymes. This capsid stays outside the cell attacked while the genetic material and whatever else is needed is injected into the cell or the capsid merges with the cell membrane and the vital viral material enters the cell.
How does a virus know what cell to enter?
It has matching proteins on it's capsid that match ones on certain host cells.
What is the coating around a virus's core made of?
THe outer shell of a virus is called the capsid, and consists of various proteins, which are arranged to enable the virus to enter and control a host cell. These proteins are called protomers and are assembled in units called capsomeres.
What is a virus surrounded by?
The nucleic acid of a virus is covered by a protein capsid.
What is the name of the protein that surrounds the virus?
a capsid
What is the outer layer of the virus that helps it enter its host?
The outer layer of a virus is called the capsid. Some viruses have an envelope over the capsid either one help the virus enter its' host.
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.
What is bacteriophage capsid?
Correct. For APEX it is, A protective shell around a virus.
What is the potein coat that surrounds a virus?
This coat is called a capsid. Sometimes these have a lipid envelope.
What does surrounds the hereditary material of a virus?
The capsid. Made of protein, and sometimes various types of proteins.
What surrounds a virus?
I take it that you meant to ask what surrounds the genome of the virus. The genome of the virus (be it DNA or RNA) is enclosed within the capsid shell. The capsid shell is made by the oligomerisation of capsid proteins in a specific organised manner. The genome together with the capsid is termed as nucleocapsid. Sometimes the nucleocapsid is surrounded by a phospholipid membrane (of host origin) called the envelope. The viruses which have an envelope are called envelope viruses eg., Chikunguyna virus, Rabies virus, HIV and the viruses without an envelope are called naked viruses eg., Poliovirus, Rotavirus
How does the structure of a virus help it survive?
The capsid of the cell helps the virus to infect host cells as well as multiply quickly.
What part of a virus does not enter the host?
Generally, the protein coat that surrounds the viral genetic material and any reverse trascriptase enzymes. This capsid stays outside the cell attacked while the genetic material and whatever else is needed is injected into the cell or the capsid merges with the cell membrane and the vital viral material enters the cell.
What additional protective layer of protein surrounds some viruses-?
The envelope.
What is the protein coat that surounds a virus called?
The envelope.
How does a virus know what cell to enter?
It has matching proteins on it's capsid that match ones on certain host cells.
