Question

A hypothetical poison prevents nucleoli from carrying out their functions. Which organelles would be affected by this poison? What would the cell be unable to do? Explain.

Answer 1

THe answer to this question would be: ribosome.

Ribosome function is in protein synthesis. To do synthesis a protein, it will need an RNA with a specific structure. The RNA is made from the nucleus, so if nucleus can copy their DNA into RNA, the protein synthesis will not be able to be executed.
