Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

<u>In double-stranded DNA, the ratio of purine bases (Adenine and Guanine) and that of pyrimidine bases (Thymine and Cytosine) is 1:1 according to Chargaff's rule.</u> This means that the percentage of Adenine must be equal to that of Guanine while that of Thymine must also be equal to Cytosine.

However, in the case of the newly isolated viral strain, the amount of Adenine (25%) and Guanine (55%) vary while that of Thymine (10%) and Cytosine (20%) also vary. <em>This is in contrast to Chargaff's rule. Hence, the isolated virus is a single-stranded DNA virus instead of a double-stranded. </em>

The asnswer is 2DG also known as 2-Deoxy-D-glucose.  2DG is a glucose molecule that has the 2-hydroxyl group replaced by hydrogen, so that it cannot undergo further glycolysis. As such; it acts to competitively inhibit the production of glucose-6-phosphate from glucose at the phosphoglucoisomerase level (step 2 of glycolysis).
