Biology

Semmy [17]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The amount and arrangement of the proteins and nucleic acid of viruses determine their size and shape. The protein and nucleic acid constituents have properties unique for each class of virus; when assembled, they determine the size and shape of the virus for that specific class. The capsid ensures the virus gets delivered into the host, thereby allowing the virus to continue on. This shows the capsid of the Adenovirus. This capsid is called an icosahedral shape. This is one of the more complex types of capsid.

seropon [69]

Answer:

C. right side of the head and neck and right upper arm

Explanation:

The arch of aorta is a continuation of ascending aorta and terminates at the intervertebral disc of fourth and fifth thoracic vertebrae. The superior part of the arch of aorta branches off into three major arteries. The first branch of arch of aorta is the largest branch and is known as the brachiocephalic trunk.

The brachiocephalic trunk divides and forms the subclavian artery and right common carotid artery. Right common carotid artery supplied blood to the right side of the head and neck while the right subclavian artery delivers blood to the right upper limb.

Hence, any blood clot in the first branch of arch of aorta, that is the brachiocephalic trunk would affect the blood supply to the right side of the head and neck and right upper arm.
