Question
The envelope structure of certain flu viruses and bacteriophages is based on which rotational symmetry?
Answer
icosahedral rotational symmetry
- Q:What are flu viruses and bacteriophages? A:Flu viruses are viral infectious agents that attack respiratory systems. Bacteriophages or phages are viruses that infect and replicate within bacteria.
- Q:What is rotational symmetry? A:Rotational symmetry is the property of a shape that makes it look exactly the same after a rotation by a certain angle around a fixed point.
- Q:What is the envelope structure of flu viruses and bacteriophages? A:The envelope structure of flu viruses and bacteriophages is a membrane that surrounds the virus and contains its genetic material.
- Q:What is the rotational symmetry of the envelope structure of flu viruses and bacteriophages? A:The envelope structure of certain flu viruses and bacteriophages is based on icosahedral rotational symmetry.
