The nucleic acid of a virus determines

  • A.the shape of the host cell nucleus
  • B.the temperature of the host
  • C.which proteins the virus can specify
  • D.the lipid composition of the envelope

Answer: C

The genome encodes the capsid proteins, the glycoproteins and any enzymes the virus needs. The envelope's lipid, by contrast, comes from the host membrane the particle budded through, so it is not specified by the virus at all.
