The capsid is the protein shell that surrounds the core of a virus where its nucleic acid is located. The capsid is made up small sub units called capsomeres. A virus consists of a nucleic acid which may either be RNA or DNA and is found in varying quantities in the virus. It is this nucleic acid that is vital to the virus' survival that is housed in the capsid. A drug that targets the capsid and damages it will cause the nucleic acid to leak out of the virus and into the surrounding while other fluids foreign to the virus will get in rendering the virus totally impaired, and due to this the virus cannot survive but will speedily die.

The cognitive changes (increment in thinking- abstractly), emotional and social changes (controlling emotions and relationships with equals, falling in love).

Puberty deals with a wide range of domains that exemplifies the multidimensionality component of development.

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

Light brown colour will be appear.

Explanation:

If the rabbit raised at 20 c then the rabbit gain brown colour because the pigment which is responsible for the dark colour does not work due to increase in temperature. Enzymes are those substances which speedup the chemical reaction so when the temperature becomes higher, the enzyme did not function properly and the colour pigment gives light brown colour to the rabbit.
