Answer 1

Drag each one of the labels onto the figure to identify function of each structure(structure image attached)

Answer:

Left side(top to bottom)

• assist the virus in exiting the cell after reproduction
• protects the viral nuclei acid
• recognizes and attaches to host cell
• contains antigenic determinants

Right side

• contains the viral genetic information

Explanation:

Virus is an infectious agent that has the ability to reproduce inside its host cell.Once inside a host cell,it has the ability to replicate itself. It is composed of a core of genetic material, either DNA or RNA. It is surrounded by a protein coat or protein envelope(that covers genome), which is a protective layer that enables the virus to survive between hosts. Virus is the smallest of all microbes. A typical virus may vary in size. The smallest being only 17nm and the largest is 1500nm in size.
