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

Do you think you would have some genetic traits similar to your grandparents? EXPLAIN your answer.
pogonyaev

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

Genes are passed on from generation to generation. When a male and a female produce an offspring, the offspring would get half of their genes from their mother, and the other half from their father.So your parents get half of their genes from their parents, (which in this case, are your grandparents) and they pass them on to you. Unlike your parents, you get traits from both sides of your family, some from your mother's side and some from your father's side.

This is why you share similar traits as your grandparents and at the same time,there is also a chance that you also share some (of course not all) traits with your direct cousins, because they also share some traits to your grandparents.
