Answer:

When the virus infects a cell, the RNA genome enters the cell and programs it to make new virus particles. These virus particles are released from the cell and go on to infect new cells. In humans, poliovirus is ingested, and replicates in cells of the gastrointestinal tract.Poliovirus, the prototypical picornavirus and causative agent of poliomyelitis, is a nonenveloped virus with a single-stranded RNA genome of positive polarity. The virion consists of an icosahedral protein shell, composed of four capsid proteins (VP1, VP2, VP3, and VP4), which encapsidates the RNA genome (1).RNA viruses generally have very high mutation rates compared to DNA viruses, because viral RNA polymerases lack the proofreading ability of DNA polymerases. The genetic diversity of RNA viruses is one reason why it is difficult to make effective vaccines against them.

The structure of a substrate P strongly resembles substrate Q. In an experiment, By mistake P was used instead of Q as a substra

Dvinal [7]

<h3>Answer;</h3>

C) P and Q have similar binding properties

<h3>Explanation;</h3>

Enzymes are biological catalysts that speeds up chemical reactions. Substrates are substances that are acted on by an enzyme to form a product.
An enzyme catalyzed reaction occurs when the substrate binds to the active site of an enzyme to form and enzyme-substrate complex.
Substrate P and Q are structurally similar which means they are in a position of binding and fitting in the active site of an enzyme. The strong structural similarity means that the binding properties of these two different substrates may be similar.
Formation of similar products or results when acted upon by an enzyme mean they are similar in terms of their binding properties, and thus the production of similar product.
