The DNA virus uses nucleus of the host to replicate it genetic material since it lack reverse transcriptase enzyme.The similarities between the DNA virus with human protein it make difficult to treat this virus without damaging the host cell.
while
RNA virus has reverse transcriptase enzyme which is used to replicate its genetic material, but it lack ability to check errors, which led to higher mutation rate.The transcriptase enzyme is used to make vaccine which is used to treat RNA virus

Answer:
There is no image showing the shape of an enzyme, however, the question can still be answered based on basic understanding. The answers are;
- Less binding of substrate
- won't follow the lock-and-key pattern of enzyme binding
Explanation:
An enzyme is a biological catalyst that regulates the rate of chemical reactions in living systems. Enzymes are proteinous in nature and every protein is made up of an amino acid sequence. The amino acid sequence forms a three-dimensional shape that determines the functionality of the enzyme.
Enzymes catalyze reactions by binding to their substrates in a lock and key pattern. This makes enzymes substrate-specific. If the enzyme's normal shape changes, the following will occur:
- Less binding of substrate
- won't follow the lock-and-key pattern of enzyme binding.
It is called a population since they are all the same species
Answer:
Since, the original DNA sequence has not been provided, the mutation can be an insertion/deletion or a frameshift mutation.
- Mutated DNA
- Frameshift mutation/ insertion or deletion
- All the amino acids changed after the point mutation
Explanation:
Frameshift Mutation:
- A frameshift mutation is the alteration in the reading frame of the DNA due to the addition/deletion of one or two nucleotides.
- This type of mutation moves the mRNA sequence one or two bases forwards or backwards which disrupts the three base codons sequence required for translation into proteins.
- The CT at the end of the sequence is indicative of a frameshift in the DNA reading frame.
- Frameshift mutation affect all amino acids in a polypeptide chain as all codons are moved one or two steps forwards or backwards.
