Which statement is not true (meaning False) about the virus capsid? Select one: O a. Because the capsid is not essential to the virus, it's not a useful target for antiviral drugs. b. The capsid is made of one or more types of protein subunits. O c. The capsid determines the shape of the virus. O d. The capsid functions as a package for the viral genetic material. O e. Both bacteriophage and animal viruses have capsids.

Answer 1

Ans-1- Capsids are made up of proteins subunits known as capsomere. Capsid works as a cover for the genetic material of viruses and provides overall shape to the virus. Both bacteriophage and animal viruses have a capsid. There are many drugs which target specific proteins of the capsid.

So option A is right.

Ans-2- Frameshift mutation is insertion or deletion mutation which insert or deleate one or more than one nucleotide. This changes the open reading frame which changes the protein structure by either adding or deleting an amino acids which can make protein non-functional. Subsititution mutations do not change open reading frame.

So option B is correct.
