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.

Explain why it is important to create experiments that are reproducable by other people.
spayn [35]

Answer:

Reproducibility is important because it is the only thing that an investigator can guarantee about a study. Contrary to what most press releases would have you believe, an investigator cannot guarantee that the claims made in a study are correct (unless they are purely descriptive) So reproducibility is important not because it ensures that the results are correct, but rather because it ensures transparency and gives us confidence in understanding exactly what was done.

Amoeba sisters video recap: Genetic Drift
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

Genetic drift is simply a change in the frequency of alleles in a population.

Like shown in the comic A, there are different genes present on chromosomes. All of these genes are made up of a pair of alleles. These alleles determine the genotype and the resulting phenotype of an organism.

If none of the alleles is favored by the environment, then a population will have equal no.of all the variant forms of a trait. Like shown in the comic B, both the green and the grey animals are favored equally.

But if natural selection occurs and one form of the allele variant is favored, then a genetic drift will occur. Most of the organisms will have the alleles which are favored by the environment. Like shown in Comic C, where the grey alleles are favored more than the green alleles.
