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.

In a sample of 2,400 people, 1,482 were found to have the dominant (taster) phenotype. Assuming that the population is in Hardy-
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

1128.

Explanation:

The dominant taster phenotype is 1482.

The recessive taster phenotype = 2400 – 1482 = 918 .

Recessive phenotypes = 2400 – 1482 = 918

The recessive phenotype frequency = q² = 918 / 2400 = 0.38.

the recessive allele frequency q = √0.38 = 0.62.

The dominant allele frequency, p = 1-q = 1- 0.62 = 0.38

The heterozygous frequency =  2pq = 2 ×0.38 × 0.62 = 0.47 .

The heterozygous individual in the population = 0.47 × 2400 = 1128.

Thus, the answer is 1128.

5. Studying light from a star allows us to… a. determine a star's temperature b. determine what elements the star is made of c.
Basile [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C "determine how a star is moving (toward, away, fast, slow)"

Explanation:

All realized components emanate and assimilate specific frequencies of light, which is important for the electromagnetic range. By considering the frequencies of light (as demonstrated by 'lines' inside the electromagnetic range) discharged by an object in space, astronomers can get a scope of information.

One thing they look at is the adjustment in situation of lines in the range from a star this can tell astronomers the distance away the star is, regardless of whether it is moving towards or away from us and how quick it is moving.
