    What has equilateral triangle? - ProProfs

    What has equilateral triangle?

    • Lipid

    • Capsid

    • Capitol

    • Cartel

    Correct Answer
    A. Capsid
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Capsid" because a capsid is a protein coat that surrounds and protects the genetic material of a virus. An equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length, which is unrelated to the other options provided. Lipid refers to a type of molecule, Capitol refers to a building where a legislative body meets, and Cartel refers to a group of businesses that collude to control and manipulate a market.

    What releases virus? - ProProfs

    What releases virus?

    • Showtel

    • Cell lysis

    • Cartal

    • Carpool

    Correct Answer
    A. Cell lysis
    Explanation
    Cell lysis is the process by which a cell ruptures, releasing its contents including any viruses it may contain. This can occur naturally as a result of cell death or damage, or it can be induced in a laboratory setting for the purpose of studying viruses or extracting viral components. When a cell undergoes lysis, any viruses within it are released into the surrounding environment, where they can then infect other cells and continue their replication cycle. Therefore, cell lysis is the correct answer to the question of what releases viruses.

    Envelope contains lipid. - ProProfs

    Envelope contains lipid.

    • True

    • False

    • Maybe

    • Sometimes

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Lipids are a class of organic compounds that are insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. They are commonly found in cell membranes and play a crucial role in various biological processes. Since the statement mentions that the envelope contains lipid, it implies that lipids are present in the envelope. Therefore, the correct answer is True.

    What does interaction mean? - ProProfs

    What does interaction mean?

    • Combustion

    • Recombination 

    • Rewire

    • Reprieve

    Correct Answer
    A. Recombination 
    Explanation
    Interaction refers to the action or process of two or more things acting upon or influencing each other. In the given options, "recombination" best represents this concept as it refers to the process of combining or rejoining separate elements or entities to form a new whole. This implies a mutual influence or interaction between the elements being combined or recombined.

    What encodes Nucleic acid genome? - ProProfs

    What encodes Nucleic acid genome?

    • Lipid

    • Capsid

    • Frious

    • Pepsin

    Correct Answer
    A. Capsid
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Capsid. Capsid is a protein coat that encloses the nucleic acid genome of a virus. It provides protection to the genetic material and helps in the transmission of the virus to host cells. Lipids are not directly involved in encoding nucleic acid genomes. Frious and Pepsin are not relevant to the encoding of nucleic acid genomes.

    Defeilivirus Causes Infection. - ProProfs

    Defeilivirus Causes Infection.

    • True

    • False

    • Maybe

    • Inconclusive

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The given statement "Defeilivirus Causes Infection" is true. This means that Defeilivirus is a type of virus that can cause an infection in individuals.

    What type of agent is Virus? - ProProfs

    What type of agent is Virus?

    • Microscopic

    • Dangerous

    • Helpful

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "All of the above" because a virus can be classified as microscopic as it cannot be seen with the naked eye. It is also considered dangerous as it can cause various diseases and infections in living organisms. Additionally, some viruses can be helpful in certain situations, such as in genetic engineering or medical research. Therefore, all three options accurately describe the nature of a virus.

    How many faces does capsid symmetry have? - ProProfs

    How many faces does capsid symmetry have?

    • 50

    • 40

    • 30

    • 20

    Correct Answer
    A. 20
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 20 because capsid symmetry refers to the arrangement of protein subunits that make up the outer shell of a virus. The number of faces in capsid symmetry corresponds to the number of subunits that come together to form the shell. In this case, there are 20 faces, indicating that 20 protein subunits make up the capsid symmetry.

    What is viral persistence? - ProProfs

    What is viral persistence?

    • Strong virus

    • Unending occurrence

    • Constant occurrence

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Constant occurrence
    Explanation
    Viral persistence refers to the continuous or constant occurrence of a virus within a host or population. It means that the virus remains present and active over a prolonged period, often without causing immediate symptoms or being completely eliminated by the immune system. This can lead to chronic infections or recurrent outbreaks, as the virus persists and replicates within the host or spreads among individuals. The term "constant occurrence" accurately reflects this concept of viral persistence.
