Answer: Prevent viral replication

Explanation:

Capsid of the virus can be defined as the protective covering made of proteins. The main function of capsid is to protect the genetic material of the virus and also provides attachment to the host cell.

If a drug is taken that destroys the capsid of virus, then the genetic material of the virus would be cleaved and it would not be able to replicate and infect the host cell.

This will prevent further viral infection.

Ammonia is likely to be the primary nitrogenous waste in living conditions that include
WINSTONCH [101]

The correct answer is: A) lots of fresh water flowing across the gills of a fish.

Nitrogenous wastes, formed by the breakdown of proteins and nucleic acids (both contain nitrogen in their structure) tend to form toxic ammonia. Since it is toxic and raises the pH of body fluids it requires ATP and large quantities of fresh water to dilute it out of a biological system.  So, only aquatic animals tend to release ammonia into the water (terrestrial animals release urea or ureic acid). Animals that excrete ammonia are said to be ammonotelic.
