what do their cell shapeshave in common?

Question

Accepted Answer

∻Answer∻ ⚹ Bacteriophages often have complex shapes with a head and tail structure, while animal viruses can range from simple helical and icosahedral forms to more complex structures. Despite this diversity, they share the characteristic of being acellular and requiring a host cell to replicate. ⚹ ∻Solution∻ ‖ a ⋮ Commonality in Shapes: Both bacteriophages and animal viruses lack a cellular structure and are composed of protein coats (capsids) that enclose their genetic material. ‖ ∻1 Answer∻ ⚹ Both bacteriophages and animal viruses are acellular entities that require a host cell for replication and have protein coats encapsulating their genetic material. ⚹ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹ Acellularity of Viruses ⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹ Viruses, including bacteriophages and animal viruses, are not considered living cells but rather infectious particles that must infect a host cell to reproduce. ⚹◊How do the shapes of cells affect their function in organisms⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
