Because by damaging capsids, there is no place for the bad DNA to be stored. So the drug destroys the DNA so no more of the virus can be stored in the body.

Answer:

The drugs that destructs capsid would ultimately results in the destruction of virus's genetic material and inhibits the replication of virus.

Explanation:

A protective coating of viruses, formed of proteins is termed as a capsid. The prime activity of capsid is to safeguard the genetic substance of viruses from nuclease enzymes and to offer attachment with the host cell. Thus, if a drug has an application in damaging viral capsid, the genetic substance would get dissociated by digested enzymes and virus will lose the tendency to proliferate and infect the host cells.

Select the correct order of protein production 1. The amino acids are joined to make a protein. 2. A segment of DNA is transcrib
muminat

The correct order is: B) 2, 5, 4, 3, 1.

2. A segment of DNA is transcribed in mRNA. mRNA is transferred to the cytoplasm. This is the process of transcription that occurs in the nucleus of the cell and it is the first step of gene expression. It is performed by the enzyme RNA polymerase.

5. The mRNA strand is fed through the ribosome. Ribosome is an organelle where protein synthesis (translation) occurs and it consists of proteins and RNAs.

4. Molecule of tRNA delivers amino acids from to the ribosome. tRNA is transfer RNA  because of its function to carry amino acids to the ribosomes during protein synthesis.

3.The amino acids are dropped off at the ribosome.

1. The amino acids are joined to make a protein. Amino acids are added to a growing protein chain.
