Answer:

The correct answer is c it inhibits the movement of small subunit relative to the large subunit.

Explanation:

According to the question the the poison that is added in vitro translation mixture containing mRNA molecules specific sequence result in formation of Met-lys dipeptide that remains attached to the ribosome.

    This means the translocation step that deals with movement of smaller subunit of ribosome to the next codon(Here to the third codon) is blocked.

Heterozygous alleles are found on ________ chromosomes
Ksju [112]

Answer is Homologous.

A diploid individual having two different alleles for a specific trait is called heterozygous. An allele is the alternative form of the same gene. The cells in diploid organisms contain sets of homologous chromosomes, which are paired chromosomes. Each chromosome of a homologous pair has the same genes on the same positions. Although homologous chromosomes have the same genes, they may have different alleles for those genes.  

Example: The gene for seed color trait in a pea plant exists in pair. One gene or allele for yellow seed (R) and the other for green seed color (r). A heterozygous plant would contain alleles for seed color (Rr). Gene R is present one chromosome and its allele (r) is present on the other chromosome of the homologous pair.
