Question

The earlier the cell intervenes in the process of protein synthesis, the _______ energy it wastes. Thus, cells will tend to regulate protein synthesis _______.
a. more; at the earliest possible stage
b. more; at all stages
c. more; at the latest possible stage
d. less; at the earliest possible stage
e. less; at the latest possible stage

Answer 1

Answer: Option D.

Less; at the earliest possible stage.

Explanation:

Protein synthesis refers to the process in which living cells can produce proteins

This occur in two stages;

Transcription and translation.

Transcription refers to transfer of DNA genetic instructional to MRNA in the nucleus of cells.

Translation, after DNA has been transcribed to MRNA, it is then translated to DNA.

When cells intervene in protein synthesis, less energy is used and the cells will regulate the protein synthesis at the earliest possible stage.
