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.

Answer:

Viral proteins are not produced so the virus cannot reproduce normally

Explanation:

Viruses use the cellular machinery of the host to reproduce itself. They are able to exploit the transcriptional and translational machinery in the host in order to reproduce itself

What happens to the heat and moisture from the ocean?
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

The answer is A

Explanation:

When water molecules are heated, they exchange freely with the air in a process called evaporation. Ocean water is constantly evaporating, increasing the temperature and humidity of the surrounding air to form rain and storms that are then carried by trade winds.

How closely do Mendel insights into dominant and recessives traits match up with the ratios that punnett calculated in his Punne
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

Perfectly in theory, except there is chance involved

Explanation:

The Punnet square is a diagram that allows scientists to predict the possible outcomes of the offspring when the genotypes of the parents are known. This is in line with Mendel's principles, and from a theoretical point of view would match up perfectly. However, it all works based on <em>probability</em>.

However, inheritance is always down to chance. Of your parents 2 alleles, you always have 50:50 chance of inheriting one of the allele. Overall, this is what is predicted in punnet squares.

However, think about flipping a coin. There is always 50:50 chance of getting heads, but that doesn't mean it is impossible to flip a coin and get tails 10 x in a row. It is just less likely. So in reality, observations might deviate from the theory.
