  1. Question 1

    Q1. A Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV) is visualized. Which structural arrangement describes the relationship between its RNA genome and the surrounding capsomeres?

    • A) Icosahedral capsid
    • B) Helical capsid
    • C) Complex binal symmetry
    • D) Enveloped pleomorphic

    Answer: Helical capsid

    Explanation: TMV has a helical capsid where capsomeres are arranged around the RNA. Icosahedral symmetry is found in viruses like Polio or Adenovirus.
