All right, so this drug basically is used to treat aids, which is caused by hiv.
00:10
Now, hiv is a virus that is a retrovirus, right? use a reverse transcriptase to create the cdna that will eventually lead to its viral gene products.
00:26
The question is, what type of transmissible elements would be affected, by this drug, a -z -t, or zidovuddin, v -d -vu -d -a -t.
00:40
And what would most likely be the effect? what we're looking for here, the answer is here, is a retro -transposon.
00:58
Okay? because a retro transposeon will excise out via transcription and translation.
01:09
And in the cycle, it will go through reverse transcription.
01:25
Okay? so the results in c -d -n -a, which would then integrate at whatever other point.
01:36
And it would integrate another point in the dna, right? or in another organism.
01:41
But likely in another point in the dna...
