Radiation can actually affect the entire body, however it has a large effect of the bone marrow. Radiation is dangerous because too much can cause cellular depredation, this happens in environment that rapidly change like the bone marrow, which then interferes with blood cell production.

It can be confusing because it isn't specific enough. In astronomy, the big dipper is not a spoon. It is a bear. Scientists know it as Ursa Major rather than a dipper or bear.

Answer:

In babies born with congenital defects during the German measles rubella epidemic the specific cause of these birth defects was most likely the development of rubella virus infections in embryos.

Explanation:

Options for this question are:

1. The development of rubella virus infections in embryos. 

2. The failure of zygotes infected with rubella to develop

3. Mutations in the nerve cells of pregnant females at the time of the rubella epidemic .

4. An increase in the amount of time needed for healthy embryonic development.

Rubella is a viral infection caused by a virus of the genus Rubivirus, considered highly teratogenic during the phases of pregnancy where the embryo and the fetus are developing, that is, before 20 weeks of gestation.

The virus is transferred to the embryo or fetus by the mother's blood, acquiring the disease, which can cause abortions or visible malformations at birth, which is called Congenital Rubella Syndrome (CRB).

CRB is responsible for producing cardiovascular, renal, neurological malformations, loss of vision or hearing, problems that German children born during the epidemic probably had.

- It cannot secrete hormones (Secretion)
- It cannot send messages along a nervous system or anything similar (Conductivity)
- It cannot break down compounds to usable energy forms (Digestion)
- It cannot absorb broken down compounds as an energy source (Absorption)
- It cannot reproduce (Reproduction)
- It cannot grow--it has no cells (Growth)
- It cannot exchange gases between cells (Respiration)
- It cannot rid itself of waste material (Excretion)

Which structures in the cell are proteins assembled in?

Reil [10]

The nucleolus is where the assembly of the ribosomes begin. Proteins are assembled on ribosomes. Ribosomes produce proteins by following coded instruction of the DNA. Eukaryotic cells contain an internal membrane system known as the endoplasmic reticulum.
