The correct Answer is:
To answer the question, we need to fill in the blanks with the correct terms related to the crystallization of viruses. **Step 1: Identify the scientist who showed that viruses could be crystallized.** - The scientist known for demonstrating that viruses could be crystallized is **Stanley**. He was the first to crystallize a virus, which was a significant achievement in virology. **Step 2: Determine what the crystals largely consist of.** - Upon crystallization, it was found that the structure surrounding the virus, known as the **capsid**, is primarily made up of **protein**. The capsid is composed of smaller protein units that form the protective layer around the viral genetic material. **Final Answer:** A: Stanley B: Protein Thus, the complete answer is: **Stanley showed that viruses could be crystallized and the crystals largely consist of protein.** ---
