The body of water experiences eutrophication.
The process of eutrophication takes place primarily in ecosystems with gradual changing waters, mainly in deep lakes. In the depths of the lake, where deposition of dead algae takes place, the aerobic bacteria, which feeds on them proliferate that in turn consumes more amount of oxygen.
Though in the absence of enough circulation of water that is usually found in the case of deep lakes, the bottom of the lake is poorly oxygenated and the bacteria eventually deplete the oxygen found in the deep layers of water. Thus, they can no longer degrade all the dead organic matter and gets accumulated in the sediments. The lake is now considered to be aging.
Answer:
The correct answer is: viral replication would stop.
Explanation:
Drugs that block the action of RNA polymerase in viruses are called antivirals and are used to cure viral infections like Hepatitis and Herpes.
<u>Antivirals do not destroy the virus but rather mess with its development by inhibiting its replication</u>.
Viruses do not have the capacity to replicate or synthesize proteins by themselves, so they need a host that can "lend them" the structures needed to perform those processes. If the drug blocks the RNA polymerase, the virus won't be able to replicate itself.
