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.

Dafna1 [17]

The correct answer is "C-to-T transition".

Explanation:

When cytosine is hydrolysed or methylated it could result in the formation of an uracil via the deamination of cytosine. The uracil that is formed in the genomic DNA could be repaired by DNA repair pathways, but it could result in the formation of a tyrosine. These series of mutations are known as "C-to-T transition" because it starts with a cytosine and ends with a tyrosine. This kind of somatic mutations are very studied because they had been found in human breast tumors.

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer: Option C) "excludes agricultural runoff"

Explanation:

The Clean Water Act (CWA) established in 1972 is a federal law made in United States to address the adverse effect of water pollution. The act was aimed to maintain the physical, chemical, and biological integrity of the nation's waters.

A major shortcoming of the Clean Water Act (CWA) is agricultural runoff which is a nonpoint source (NPS) pollution. Large scale agriculture activities have an adverse impact on groundwater and surfacewater as they carry heavy fertilizer, pesticide and  water inputs.

The federal CWA establish water quality standards and total  maximum daily loads (TMDLs) to asses the pollution caused by agricultural water with the help of regulatory mechanisms.

Hence, the correct option C.
