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.

4 ways viruses can be classified?
Based on host specificity: viruses can be classified as either specific to a single host species or able to infect a range of hosts. According to the type of nucleic acid they contain: viruses can have DNA or RNA genomes. By their shape: viruses can be labeled as either helical, icosahedral, or complex. According to their mode of transmission: viruses can be classified as either airborne, foodborne, or bloodborne.
How are viruses classified by nucleic acids capsid shape and the presense of the envelope?
The baltimore system of virus classification can be used to classify viruses based on nucleic acids. Caspid shape I'm not so sure of, but the ICTV system is a good starting point.
What are 4 ways to classify viruses?
Viruses can be classified based on their genetic material (DNA or RNA), their morphology (shape and structure), their host range (types of organisms they infect), and their mode of transmission (how they spread between hosts).
Why are viruses not classified into any five kingdom?
Viruses are not an organism at all. They are not alive.
What way is viruses not classified?
Bacteria are not classified by the number of chromosomes, or the type of mitochondria.
What ways are viruses classified?
Certain poos
What shape is sars?
Viruses are not alive and therefore taxonomists have not yet classified viruses into specific shapes. However, they are enveloped, single stranded, positive-sense RNA viruses (27-31kb) with club-shaped surface about 120-160 nm in diameter that resemble a "corona".
Name ways viruses can be classified?
It depends on what you mean. If you mean types of viruses, there are:Virii,Trojans,and worms.
Why are there no cells in chickenpox?
Chicken pox is classified as a virus and viruses are not living things, so they are not classified as cells.
Do all viruses have the same shape?
no
What viruses have the spacecraft shape?
textbooks
What is the geometric shape does a virous prefer?
Viruses have different geometrical shapes, such as helical and polyhedral shapes. A particular polyhedral shape common to many viruses is a dodecahedron shape. This is a geometric shape that has 12 sides.
