The higher per-site mutation rates of RNA viruses can be explained in part by the RNA-dependent RNA polymerases (RdRp) that replicate their genomes. Unlike many DNA polymerases, RdRp do not have proofreading activity and are thus unable to correct mistakes during replication.

What is meant by the term carbon footprint?
katovenus [111]

A

<u>The total CO2 released by a person</u> is known as carbon footprint.

Explanation:

It is used to categorize the amount of carbon dioxide (and other greenhouse gases) that every human - due to human activities such as driving - are emitting into the atmosphere. It is equivalent to per capita carbon emission. The carbon footprint per person in the US, for example, is 16 tonnes which is also interpreted as the average production of carbon dioxide per person.

Countries are putting measures to curb increasing carbon footprints by enacting policies like a carbon tax and incentives towards renewable energy sources. This is in an effort to reduce global warming.
