Answer:

<u>This is because  the Viron  has in its genome a specialized code  for synthesising any missed enzyme for replication that is lacking in the host cell.</u>

<u>An example is the replication of the human  DNA cells by the Immunodeficiency virus(HIV) </u>. Human  cells only have  enzymes for  copying  DNA templates, and   lacks the enzyme to convert the HIV  RNA genome  to human DNA.However these viruses have  in its genome; code for synthesising its own  RNA polymerase enzymes that copies  or transcribed  the   human DNA to HIV RNA.

 <u>This  ability of the viral cell  to code  for the host's enzyme  has a therapeutic effect</u>. Drugs can be targeted at the  viral polymerase enzymes to reduce the replication and therefore toxicity in the host cells.

Which statement about neural reflex arcs is incorrect? Which statement about neural reflex arcs is incorrect? Their function is
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

The incorrect statement is that the neural reflex arc becomes slow by the hormones involved.

Explanation:

A neural pathway that controls a reflex is known as a reflex arc. In a reflex arc, the sensory neuron transmits a signal to the interneuron and stimulates it. The interneuron then transmits or passes the signal to the next neuron, that is, a motor neuron. The motor neuron associates with the interneurons in the spinal cord, which transmits messages from the CNS to the body. Thus, a reflex arc comprises the elements, that is, the receptor, integrating center, and the effector. Their main activity is to protect the body from external events.
