Nata [24]3 years ago

Answer:

sulfonamides inhibit the synthesis of folic acid in bacterial cells. Humans obtain it from their diet.

Explanation:

Sulfonamides are the sulfa drugs and serve as a competitive inhibitors of p -aminobenzoate (PABA). PABA is one of the substances involved in the synthesis of folic acid. sulfonamides compete with PABA for the enzyme of folic acid synthesis and thereby, block the pathways. In the absence of folic acid, bacterial growth is inhibited. Human cells can not synthesize folic acid but obtain it from the food they eat. Therefore, sulfonamides do not affect humans.

Answer:

Some of the other process of gene expression

Explanation:

If the tRNA and rRNA levels are normal we can assume that the translation machinery is working properly. So, this suggest that the defect might appear in some of the previous steps of gene expression: replication, transcription, mRNA processing.

Gene expression is a set of processes that occur in the cell and that use information from the genetic material (gene) to produce gene product (e.g. protein). Gene expression is highly controlled and regulated because it is critical for an organism's development.

Tanzania [10]

The teacher most likely asked for additional trials because it was necessary to see data from more plants before the conclusion could be accepted.

Explanation:

  • Any experiment should have multiple trials given so that accuracy of the result could be obtained.
  • Repeating same experiments tests the consistency of a particular result and makes sure that the results will not be effected by random events occurring within the system or surrounding.
  • Thus the conclusion becomes more precise and accurate.
