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.

goblinko [34]
I'm not sure if I will answer the question you asked, as I many have interpreted it incorrectly. In natural selection, there must be variance in the gene pool, the total frequency of alleles in a population. Now, one of the organisms may have a gene that somehow helps them survive from the selective force much better compared to the others. If this does happen, over time the gene pool will narrow down to become just the genes of that organism that survived better in the first place because the rest would be taken care of by the selective force. So, the alleles and trait come from the first organisms that had the advantage over the others of its species.

Amylase catalyzes a reaction with starch to directly create _______.
mario62 [17]

Maltose is produced instantly when amylase reacts with starch.

Starch is a polysaccharide molecule made of glucose units. The chemical formula of the starch is written as (C₆H₁₀O₅)ₙ. The starch consists of amylose and amylopectin. The glucose units in this starch are linked with the help of two kinds of bonds α 1,4 glycosidic linkages and α 1,6 glycosidic linkages.

This starch molecule is first hydrolyzed into shorter polysaccharides, dextrins, and maltose with a help of an enzyme called amylase. The maltose can be further hydrolyzed into glucose units with the help of the maltase enzyme.

Therefore, the blank can be filled with maltose.
