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

A species that humans bring to an area where it did not previously occur is a(an):_________

Tasya [4]

A species that humans bring to an area where it did not previously occur is a(an): exotic species.

Exotic species are those that exist outside of their native geographic range, also known as alien, nonnative, nonindigenous, or introduced species. Exotic species are those that people have purposefully or accidentally introduced into ecosystems outside of the ones in which they have evolved. These introductions undoubtedly happen regularly in nature.

For instance, the Japanese native Kudzu (Pueraria lobata) was brought to the United States in 1876. Due to either a lack of imported individuals or inadequate adaptation to the ecosystem they join, the majority of attempts to introduce exotic species are likely to be unsuccessful. However, some species have preadaptations that can help them thrive even more in a novel setting.

An individual heterozygous for eye color, skin color, and number of eyes mates with an individual who is homozygous recessive fo

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

B) 1 black eyes, green skin, two eyes : 1 black eyes, green skin, one eye : 1 black eyes, white skin, two eyes : 1 orange eyes, green skin, two eyes : 1 orange eyes, white skin, two eyes : 1 orange eyes, white skin, one eye

Explanation:

Parentals: BbGgCc x bbggcc

The punette square diagram of the cross of these two parents is attached.

B = black eyes, b = orange eyes;

G = green skin, g = white skin;

C = two eyes, c = one eye

Progeny with BbGgCc genotype → black eyes, green skin, two eyes = 8

Progeny with BbGgcc genotype → black eyes, green skin, one eye = 8

Progeny with BbggCc genotype → black eyes, white skin, two eyes = 8

Progeny with bbGgCc genotype → orange eyes, green skin, two eyes = 8

Progeny with Bbggcc genotype → black eyes, white skin, one eye = 8

Progeny with bbGgcc genotype → orange eyes, green skin, one eye = 8

Progeny with bbggCc genotype → orange eyes, white skin, two eyes = 8

Progeny with bbggcc genotype → orange eyes, white skin, one eye = 8

So, if we will see them in the form of ratio then each of the genotype will be in the ratio of 1 i.e. black eyes, green skin, two eyes: black eyes, green skin, one eye: black eyes, white skin, two eyes: orange eyes, green skin, two eyes: black eyes, white skin, one eye: orange eyes, green skin, one eye: orange eyes, white skin, two eyes : orange eyes, white skin, one eye = 1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1.

So, in view of above option B is most appropriate.

Note: In a trihybrid cross, a total of 64 progeny types may be produced.

How do glow sticks light up in the dark?

Marina CMI [18]

All liquid glow products depend on a chemical process known as CHEMILUMINESCENCE to produce their light. ... When the stick bends, the glass vial breaks allowing the two liquids to mix together. The chemical reaction begins immediately resulting in a bright, fantastic glow.
