Answer:

C. Nucleic acid synthesis

Explanation:

AZT, azidothymidine, is an antiviral drug used to check the viral population by blocking the process of reproduction. The azidothymidin is particularly effective against human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) as this drug inhibits the activity of reverse transcriptase which is required for the formation of a DNA copy of the RNA genome of the virus.  

Similarly, Valacyclovir is an antiviral drug that inhibits viral reproduction by blocking the DNA polymerases. The Valacyclovir serves as a prodrug of acyclovir.

zalisa [80]

Option (A) Torpor is the correct answer

Organisms that undergo hibernation have the ability to slow down their metabolism so as to lower the core temperature. This process is known as Torpor.

<h3>Why is torpor important for organisms undergoing hibernation?</h3>

Torpor is a state in animals where they lower all their metabolic activities and bodily functions so as to keep the body temperature low.

It is done by the animals to conserve resources in conditions where scarcity of food is there.

Some birds undergo torpor to conserve fat in the body.

Some animals use this technique of torpor to survive competition with other species.

These organisms come back to normal physiology when the conditions become favorable.
