Answer:
The correct answer would be all type of retrotransposable elements.
Explanation:
Transposons or the jumping genes are the genes or the DNA sequences that shift or change their location on the genome. AZT is antiretroviral drug that blocks or inhibit the enzyme reverse transcriptase by interfering with the retrotransposons on reverse transcriptase level that result in fewer virus production.
Further explanation:
AZT (zidovudine) is a type of anti-HIV medication which is basically an antiretroviral known as a nucleoside analog. AZT is prescribed with other anti-HIV drugs in combinations to treat HIV, however, it does not cure HIV.
AZT acts as it interferes with reverse transcriptase, an enzyme that helps viruses of HIV make new viruses. AZT reduces and inhibits the activity of the reverse transcriptase. This medication leads to HIV-infected cells to produce fewer viruses and control HIV.
A transposable element is a sequence of DNA that shifts its position within a particular genome and may cause reversing or creating mutations and changes the genetic identity and genome size of the cell. Transposition often leads to duplication of the same gene expression.
AZT interferes with all types of retro transposons by blocking them at reverse transcription step.
