Homework Answers
1) Thymine
2) DNA
3) RNA
4) Reverse transcriptase
_____________________________________
Explanation:
AZT stands for Azidothymidine. This drug is an inhibitory drug for HIV. AZT has same structure as of thymine. That's why AZT replaces thymine. It inhibits reverse transcriptase. Hence cDNA is not synthesised from mRNA. It is used as a drug for curing HIV virus.

Question 5 of 5 1.0 Points When people infected with HIV take the anti-retroviral drug AZT, the viral population evolves to become more and more resistant to AZT. This means the drug becomes less and less effective. However, it is possible that for some HIV patients, the drug may never become less and less effective. That is, some patients taking AZT may not experience a viral population that evolves to become AZT-resistant. Which of the following is the best explanation...

B. Below is the structure of the nucleoside analog azidothymidine (AZT). AZT was used as an early HIVIAIDS therapy that inhibited replication by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) by blocking synthesis of viral DNA. NH HO i) (2 points) Before its incorporation into viral DNA, AZT is converted in the cell to the nucleoside triphosphate.
