Viruses typically consist of a protein shell called a capsid, which encases their genetic material, either DNA or RNA. The "head" of a virus often refers to the capsid that houses this genetic material, while the "tail" can refer to structures that assist in attaching to and penetrating host cells, such as tail fibers or sheaths in bacteriophages. Together, these components enable viruses to infect host cells and replicate.
What else can I help you with?
Can cancer viruses infect cells if they don't have tails?
Cancer viruses, like all viruses, require specific mechanisms to infect host cells, typically involving the binding of viral proteins to cell receptors. The presence or absence of tails in viruses generally refers to structural characteristics and does not directly determine their ability to infect cells. Many viruses without tails, such as certain types of retroviruses, can still effectively attach to and enter host cells. Therefore, viruses can infect cells regardless of their structural features, as long as they possess the necessary components for attachment and entry.
What are two components of a phospholipids?
head and tail
What characteristics of phospholipid is important to their function?
they have a polar head and non-polar tails
Which molecules have heads and tails in the plasma membrane?
phospholipid molecules....they have polar hydrophillic head(like water-as there is phosphate group attached on it..phosphate group has oxygen molecules with all their pairs of unshared electrons.) and hydrophobic tails(scare water)
What is in the center of the plasma membrane?
The lipid tails are found in the centre of the membrane. The membrane is made out of phospholipids. These have a phosphate head which is hydrophilic and a lipid tail that is hydrophobic. This form a bilayer (double-layer).
A type of lipid with 3 tails made of carbon and hydrogen?
A triglyceride. It has a glycerol "head" which is attached to 3 fatty acid tails which are long hydrocarbon chains.
How many possible outcomes of tossing a coin 3 times have exactly 1 head?
The outcomes are: heads, tails, tails or tails, heads, tails or tails, tails, heads. You can see that there are 3 possible outcomes with exactly 1 head.
Why most viruses that infect bacteria have tails whereas most viruses that infect animals and plants do not?
Bacterial viruses, or bacteriophages, often have tails to help them attach to specific receptors on the bacterial cell surface. Animal and plant viruses typically do not need tails because they enter host cells through different mechanisms, such as membrane fusion or endocytosis. The diversity of host organisms and cell types likely contributes to the variety of viral structures seen across different types of viruses.
What is an antonym for head?
tails
How do you kill the tails doll in tails nightmare?
chainsaw its head off

A fair nickel and a fair dice are tossed once outcomes match when both coins land on heads or both coins land on tails What is the theoretical probability of a match?
The probability of 2 coins both landing on heads or both landing on tails is 1/2 because there are 4 possible outcomes. Head, head. Head, tails. Tails, tails. Tails, heads. Tails, heads is different from heads, tails for reasons I am unsure of.
What does the tails side of a dime mean?
The tails side is the side without the head on it.
What is the opposite of tails?
The opposite of tail is head!
What has a Head tails brown and no lags?
A penny.
What has a head and tails but no arms and legs?
a quarter
How do you draw phospholipid?
It is known that phospholipd has a head and two tails. The head would be spherical, and the tails similar to those of spermatozoid but not so long and thin.
