You are performing experiments to learn more about the potatovirus Y (PVY). You dissaemble the PVY virus into its noninfectiousprotein and nearly noninfectious nucleic acid components. You thenuse components of two different PVY virus strains to recombinethese to make a fully infectious virus. You take one virus strainthat creates yellow streaks along the leaf vein (YS) and containsarginine and leucine in the the capsid protein. You take anothervirus strain that produces ulcer-like holes in the leaf (Ulc) andlacks arginine and leucine in the capsid protein. If you use theRNA from the Ulc strain and combine it with the YS proteins tocreate an active virus, what type of lesions would you expect, andwhat composition of amino acids will be present in the capsidprotein?
A. Ulcers in the leaf, arginine and leucine in the capsidprotein
B. Ulcers in the leaf, no arginine and leucine in the capsidprotein
C. Yellow streaks on the vein, arginine and leucine in thecapsid protein
D. Yellow streaks on the vein, no arginine and leucine in thecapsid protein
