The germ cell has 2 sets of chromosomes, and the four gametes will each have one set of chromosomes. ​​​​​​​ To have enough DNA
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

This question lacks options, the options are:

A. Halved

B. Doubled (x2)

C. Quadrupled (x4)

D. Octupled (x8)

The answer is B.

Explanation:

Via the process of meiosis, gametes are formed in order for sexual reproduction to occur. However, the chromosomal content of the gametes are reduced by half. According to this question, a germ cell is said to have 2 sets of chromosomes i.e. diploid, meaning that each daughter cell after meiosis will have one set of chromosome (haploid, n).

However, before any form of division can occur, the DNA (genetic material) of the cell must be replicated i.e. doubled in order to ensure that each resulting gamete has enough chromosomes. This is applicable in this question as well as the DNA in the germ cell must be DOUBLED (×2) via replication in order to have enough DNA for each gamete.

Why would a drug that damages capsids help treat a viral infection?
Natasha_Volkova [10]

The correct answer is D. Without capsids, viruses could not replicate

Explanation:

A viral infection is caused as a virus enters the body and this replicates inside it by using the host's cells. This is possible through the capsid which is an external layer in the virus that provides protection to it and helps the virus replicate because the capsid is essential for the virus to attach and penetrate the host's cells to replicate. According to this, if a drug damages the capsids the virus could not replicate and this should or reduce the infection caused by the virus. Thus, a drug that damages capsids helps treat a viral infection because "without capsids, viruses could not replicate".
