Infer why it is more difficult to make an antiviral drug that fights a virus that replicates through the lysogenic cycle than it

is to make one that fights a virus that replicates through the lytic cycle.
Biology

jekas [21]3 years ago

Answer:

In the lysogenic cycle, the viral genome gets incorporated into the host genome and replicates with the host genome. In the lysogenic cycle, no proteins and enzymes of the virus are formed while in the lytic cycle protein of viral capsid form and new phages generate in the host cell.

So as the viral genome integrates into the host genome in the lysogenic cycle, therefore, it is difficult for any drug to differentially act on the viral genome. So there are great chances for drugs to target the host genome in the host cell.  

But in virus that replicates through lytic cycle drugs can selectively act on viral enzyme and proteins. Therefore it is difficult to make a drug that affects lysogenic virus.

Which type of species is the first to occupy a bare site?
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

pioneer species

Explanation:

Primary succession begins in barren areas, such as on bare rock exposed by a retreating glacier. The first inhabitants are lichens or plants—those that can survive in such an environment. Over hundreds of years these “pioneer species” convert the rock into soil that can support plants.

Why can carbon form very large molecules?
malfutka [58]

Answer;

(c) It can bond with other carbon atoms that are bonded to other molecules

Explaation;

-Carbon is the only element that can form so many different compounds because each carbon atom can form four chemical bonds to other atoms, and because the carbon atom is just the right, small size to fit in comfortably as parts of very large molecules.

-Carbon chains can bond with carbon rings to form very large, complex molecules. These large molecules can be made of many small molecules that are bonded together.

Why is this relationship between a plant and bacteria called a mutualism?
belka [17]
Mutualism is relationship that is beneficial to both organisms involved. The relationship between a plant and a bacterium called a mutualism because both of them help each other. Bacteria are involved in increasing the fertility of the soil by fixing atmospheric nitrogen and thus provide plant with nitrogen. In return, the bacteria make their homes in what usually become nitrogen "nodules" along plant roots. The plant gets food, the bacteria gets shelter, everybody wins.

Which of the following pairs of terms is mismatched? Which of the following pairs of terms is mismatched? antisepsis destruction
Elden [556K]

Answer:

germicide removal of microbes from a limited area

Explanation:

Antisepsis refers to the practice of using an antiseptic substance to remove or destroy disease-causing pathogens.

Virucides are chemical agents that aid in the deactivation or destruction of viruses.

Germicides are chemical agents that are capable of destroying germs with germs being harmful microscopic organisms.

Disinfection refers to the action of using chemicals to clean off or destroy bacteria from an area.

Considering the definition of each term above, the mismatched pair of all the terms is germicide -<em> germicide removal of microbes from a limited area.</em>

Germicide is a substance and not an action.
