Then, they tested genetically (从基因方面) modified mice, which were completely unable to produce the protein. The mice were able to live healthy, normal lives without the protein.”可以推知,这种名叫甲基转移酶SETD3的蛋白质有助于促进病毒在细胞内复制,故答案为A。
3. B。根据“The mice were able to live healthy, normal lives without the protein.”“These mice would always die [without the mutation], but they survived and we saw a very strong reduction in viral replication and very strong protection.”可以推知B为正确答案。
