- C. The core and sheath are made of the same type of protein
- D. The Core and Sheath are made of another type of protein
Explanation
The answer is "Core and sheath are made of the same type of protein."Explanation: The core of the tail is made up of a rigid and inflexible protein, whereas the sheath is made up of a flexible and contractile protein. The core is the genetic material of the phage, which is made up of DNA. The sheath is a protein coat that surrounds the core and protects it from the environment. The sheath also helps the phage to attach to the host cell.
