Morphology
Virus particles are non-enveloped. The nucleocaspid is 38 nanometers (nm) long and 15-22 nm in diameter. While particles have basic icosaherdal symmetry, they consist of two incomplete icosahedra - missing one vertex - joined together. There are 22 capsomeres per nucleocapsid.

Famous quotes containing the word morphology:
“I ascribe a basic importance to the phenomenon of language.... To speak means to be in a position to use a certain syntax, to grasp the morphology of this or that language, but it means above all to assume a culture, to support the weight of a civilization.”
—Frantz Fanon (1925–1961)
