Answer:

A) Cell growth and repair would slow or stop.

Explanation:

Ribosomes are tiny biological structures present in the cytoplasm of a cell and comprise bio molecules like RNA and some proteins. Ribosomes along with mRNA and tRNA participate in translation i.e. protein synthesis.

We all know that hormones which are responsible for growth are largely proteins. Also the enzymes which repair damaged cell/tissue in the body of an organism are also proteins. So, in case ribosomes of a cell will be damaged or become malfunctional then the cell growth and repair will either slow down or  it will halt completely.

Greetings!

Option A would be correct. The most likely outcome, (if) ribosomes stopped functioning properly, would be Cell growth stopping, or slowing down.

Answer:

The placebo effect

Explanation:

The placebo effect in psychology refers to a situation in which participants in a research receive beneficial effects due to the administration of an inactive substance or a sham treatment. The positive beneficial effect received can then be attributed purely to believe and not to the treatment itself. A placebo treatment could produce a real healing effect like a true medical or psychological treatment.

The participants who received the sugar believed it to be a memory enhancing treatment hence the slight increase in memory capacity due to placebo effect.

Why is mRNA needed in cells, and how does it help with creating proteins?
nataly862011 [7]
MRNA is needed in the cells because it directs the synthesis of proteins which is found in the cytoplasm. It is a molecule that carries the message contained within DNA to the ribosome. The Proteins are assembled on the ribosomes using the mRNA nucleotide sequence as a guide.

Zero of the offspring will be bb.  Since each offspring receives one allele from each parent, all will receive a B from Dad and a b from Mom, making all of the offspring heterozygous (Bb) and brown-eyed.
