Tamiflu is a common medication given for influenza treatment, its action being to protect and block sialic acid molecules on the

surfaces of host cells and influenza virus envelopes as they leave the cell. Which statement reflects the mechanism of Tamiflu's action?
A. Tamiflu blocks protein synthesis of the viral genome.
B. Tamiflu interferes with the replication of +ssRNA from the -ssRNA genome of the flu virus.
C.Tamiflu interferes with the release of the budding viruses from the infected host cells.
D. Tamiflu interferes with the metabolic properties of the virus.

Answer:  C.Tamiflu interferes with the release of the budding viruses from the infected host cells.

Explanation:

Tamiflu is commonly used as antiviral drugs because it blocks the function of viral neuraminidases of the influenza virus. Neuraminidase is a type of enzime  found on the surface of influenza viruses that enables the virus to be released from the host cell. In order to prevent viral infection the NA protein is exploited by Tamilfu which acts as sialic acid analogs and binds to the NA active site. These are called NA inhibitors. Tamiflu  disables the NA protein from cleaving sialic acid, leaving the virus trapped and  preventing its reproduction by budding from the host cell.

Use the drop-down menus to complete the statements.
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

In the first step of meiosis I, the chromosomes/genetic material of the cell condenses into a visible form, into a form called heterochromatin. The nucleolus also disappears.

In the second step, a process called synapsis occurs. This is when homologous chromosomes align themselves, gene by gene.

In the third step, crossing over occurs. Segments of corresponding DNA are cut and exchanged between non-sister chromatids of the formed tetrads.

In the fourth step, the nucleus fragments, the nuclear envelope fragments, the two centrosomes (if we're talking about an animal cell) separate from each other as their asters and mitotic spindles (mostly microtubules (kinetochore and non-kinetochore) lengthen. The microtubules extending from the centrosomes can now connect to chromosomes.

denis23 [38]

Answer:

In some mice, fur color is inherited through incomplete dominance. The colors that are possible are black fur, white fur and grey fur. Grey is the trait that is inherited through incomplete dominance. Scenario: a grey fur male mouse and a grey fur female mouse have 8 babies. The offspring that result are: 2 black fur, 5 grey fur and 1 white fur. But this is not what is statistically expected from that cross. Explain why this is still a probable outcome. This is as a result of mutation

Explanation:

Mutation is the sudden change of a gene, from the above explanation mating of an incomplete grey fur dominance with an incomplete grey fur dominance should not have had offspring with 2 black fur, 5 grey fur and white fur. Normal mating should have produced also an incomplete grey fur dominant offspring
