Antiviral medications such as remdesivir and favipiravir are used to slow down the replication process of the virus by targeting specific steps in the reproduction cycle of the virus. These drugs help decrease the viral load in the body and can potentially shorten the duration and severity of the illness.

What process begins when DNA unzips?
The process that begins when DNA unzips is called DNA replication. During replication, the two strands of the DNA double helix separate, and each strand serves as a template for the creation of a new complementary strand. This process ensures that each new cell receives an identical copy of the genetic information.
Which process does a DNA unzip?
to make a new copy before the cell splits
The enzymes present within the AIDS virus?
It is when it invades the host cell that it brings the reverse transcriptase into
Is it true formation of multiple replication forks tends to slow down DNA replication?
No, the whole point in forming multiple replication forks is to reduce the time it takes to replicated DNA by replicating several sections of DNA at the same time, so that each polymerase enzyme has to copy less of the DNA. As a result replication finishes earlier than it would if one polymerase were to replicate the entire strand (as it would operate at the same speed - about 1000 base pairs per second). The human genome has about 20,000 origins for replication, which will produce 20,000 replication forks. It is necessary to have this many because the human genome is so large (3.3 billion base pairs). Without 20,000 origins, DNA replication would take close to 20,000 times longer.
Why is DNA replication semi-conserbribe?
I think there is a mistake in the question. The DNA replication is said to be semi-conservative because during DNA replication one stand will be parental and the other will be newly formed. This happens due to the complimentary base pairing.
How do antivirals kill viruses?
Antivirals work by targeting specific aspects of viral replication, such as blocking viral enzymes or preventing the virus from entering host cells. This disrupts the virus's ability to replicate, slowing down or halting the infection process.

How does treatment stabilize HIV?
There are several types of medication for HIV that are designed to do different things. In essenece, the medications either slow down the replication process of the virus and/or help boost the immune system. This means that the person with HIV will see a drop in their viral count (the number of HIV viral cells in their blood stream) and perhaps an increase in their T-cells (white blood cells that are attacked by the HIV virus). None of the medications kill the virus itself. At best, they are slowing it down, allowing people to live longer.
Does the arvs kill the hi virus and does it cure aids?
No. ARVs (antiretrovirals) do not kill the virus. All they do is slow down the process by which they reproduce. If you stop taking ARVS, the HIV virus returns to full replication mode and they continue to reproduce.
What happens at the DNA replication fork?
The DNA replication fork is where the replication origin forms the Y shape. The replication fork moves down the DNA strand to the strand's end, resulting in every replication fork having a twin.
What binds to the prokaryotic chromosome to start DNA replication?
In prokaryotes, the DNA replication process is initiated by the binding of the DnaA protein to specific sites on the bacterial chromosome called DnaA boxes. DnaA protein helps in unwinding the DNA strands to enable replication to start.
Which process does a DNA unzip?
to make a new copy before the cell splits
Where is the molecule split during replication?
Down the middle.
Antiviral drugs can reduce the effects of HIV by?
Blocking HIV replication. Lol. Working on online Lifetime Wellness homework?
What is the fan check virus?
The fan check virus is a virus that is being spread on facebook via a malicious application. The fan check virus is being ignored by large antivirus companies currently in an attempt to sell "recovery tools" down the road. Check out facebook-fan-check-virus.blogspot.com in order to learn more about how to get read of it and how to prevent getting it.
What is a Organism?
The word can be broken down into parts: path- means disease and -gen means to produce/make while -ic means a process. So the word means a disease making organism. For example the measles virus, chickenpox virus or cold virus.
Is DNA replication bidirectional in prokaryotes?
Because in eukaryote the DNA is antiparallel, so the polymerase has to go in one direction up the leading strand and in the reverse direction down the lagging strand. Of course, two polymerase at the same time.
