A
helical
B

C

D
complex

Respuesta :

Answer

A. helical

Explanation:

Oseni

The tobacco mosaic virus is known to be helical in nature.

Tobacco Mosaic Virus

The tobacco mosaic virus is said to be helical in nature because its capsids are rod-shaped or filamentous in appearance.

The filamentous or rod-shaped capsids have a central cavity that holds the genome (usually in the form of ribonucleic acids) of the virus.

Helical viruses are different from other viruses that may be icosahedral, prolate, or complex as far as their own capsids are concerned.

The tobacco mosaic virus, therefore, typicalizes the helical viruses.
