5 0

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Usually a virus is mainly made up of genetic material (DNA or RNA) inside a capsid/envelope. It has no organelles like a ‘true’ cell. Because it cannot reproduce on its own, scientists struggle to categorize it as a living thing since  reproduction is a property of living things. The virus reproduces by hijacking the cellular mechanisms of the host cells to replicate itself. It does so by integrating itself in the genome of the host so that its DNA is also replicated, along with that of the host, by the host cell DNA polymerases and its proteins produced by the ribosomes of the host.

Butanol was used in the production of:
hram777 [196]

Answer:

Synthetic rubber.

Explanation:

Polymerization can be defined as a type of chemical reaction in which molecules that are relatively small in size chemically combine to form a huge chain of molecules.

Simply stated, polymerization refers to a chemical reaction where two or more smaller molecules react to produce larger molecules of the same network or repetitive structural units.

In polymerization, the relatively small molecules are generally referred to as monomers while the larger molecules they produce are known as polymers.

Butanol was used in the production of synthetic (artificial) rubber through a fermentation process.
