Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Yes, some virus shapes that infect members of Archaea have unique morphologies and genetic characteristics that distinguish them from viruses that infect eukaryotes and bacteria. For example, many Archaea-infecting viruses have spindle-shaped or bottle-shaped capsids, while viruses that infect bacteria typically have icosahedral or helical capsid structures.
