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.

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer: A. is a measure of energy

Explanation:

Heat is one of the easiest forms of energy that man can detect in your environment because we have the sensation of cold, hot, sweat, drink liquids when we feel hot, see the engine of a car heat up, take a bath of water heated by an electric shower or a boiler, etc.

Heat transfer occurs until the moment bodies reach the same temperature (thermal equilibrium). Heat is the energy transferred between a system and its surroundings because of the differences in temperatures.
