Answer: Antibiotics targets the synthesis of protein, nucleic acid, folate and cell wall.

1. Synthesis of protein; antibiotics binds to either 30s or 50s ribosomal subunits blocking the polypeptide from the exiting the tunnel thus inhibiting a full completion of protein expression or production.

2. Nucleic acid synthesis; Antibiotics also act by inhibiting genetic expression, DNA transcription and replication where DNA makes exact copies of itself, as well as RNA molecules preventing bacterial growth.

3. Cell wall synthesis; Inhibition of cell wall synthesis in microorganisms will prevent it from replication and growth.

4. Folate synthesis; Folic acid also known as vitamin B9 helps in DNA replication and cell division. Folate antagonists such as aminopterin kills bacteria by preventing folic acid production required for DNA replication.

Students are modeling mRNA during the process of protein synthesis. Which answer choice correctly describes the model of the mRN
ivanzaharov [21]

The mRNA strand is complementary to the DNA template strand; however, uracil instead of thymine is paired with adenine.

<h3>What is RNA?</h3>

This is referred to as ribonucleic acid with its base adenine being paired with uracil.

The  mRNA strand which is known as messenger RNA is complementary to the DNA template strand and carries protein information from the DNA to cytoplasm for appropriate translation.
