Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Viruses
A
have many cells
B
are misfolded proteins
C
are a protein coat around genetic material
D
endospores
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Viruses have a protein coat called capsid, that encloses their genetic material.

Detailed explanation-2: -Viruses have a protein coat called capsid, that encloses their genetic material.

Detailed explanation-3: -However, all virus particles have a protein coat that surrounds and protects a nucleic acid genome. This protein coat is called a capsid, and the instructions for making the protein subunits of the capsid are encoded in the nucleic acid genome of the virus.

Detailed explanation-4: -A capsid is the protein shell of a virus, enclosing its genetic material. It consists of several oligomeric (repeating) structural subunits made of protein called protomers.

Detailed explanation-5: -The outer protein coat of a virus is known as the capsid. It consists of several oligomeric structural subunits made of a protein called protomers which cover the nucleic acid which is present in the virus and protects it when virus inserts itself into the host.
