Answer:
C. Nucleic acid synthesis
Explanation:
AZT, azidothymidine, is an antiviral drug used to check the viral population by blocking the process of reproduction. The azidothymidin is particularly effective against human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) as this drug inhibits the activity of reverse transcriptase which is required for the formation of a DNA copy of the RNA genome of the virus.
Similarly, Valacyclovir is an antiviral drug that inhibits viral reproduction by blocking the DNA polymerases. The Valacyclovir serves as a prodrug of acyclovir.
Answer:
Ecosystem
Explanation:
An ecosystem refers to all the abiotic and biotic factors in an area and their interactions.
The biotic factors include all the living organisms (the fish, their predators, and the plants).
The abiotic factors are the physical, non-living components, including the water and sunlight.
The relationships between all these factors creates the ecosystem.
Answer:
Sunlight is related to plant growth. If the amount of sunlight is increased, then plant growth will increase. The hypothesis that plant growth increases as the amount of sunlight increases was supported by the data.
Mediterranean
Mediterranean climate is characterized by dry, warm to hot summers and rainy winters. It gets its name from the Mediterranean Sea where this climate is common place, but other regions of the world also get this type of climate such as the United States' California, areas in Western and Central Asia, Western Australia as well as Southern Australia. You'll usually find this type of climate on the western coasts of the continents.
