Answer:

After a cell was treated with a certain chemical, the ribosomes stopped functioning. The cell activity immediately affected by this change in ribosome function is protein synthesis.

Explanation:

The basic structural units of all living things are known as cells. Inside the cells, specialized structures called ribosomes are present, which synthesize proteins. The protein synthesis in a eukaryotic cell consists of two processes, transcription and translation.

The transcription process takes place in nucleus, where the information from a DNA strand is copied into a single stranded messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule using RNA polymerase enzyme. During the ending of transcription, the completed mRNA strand detaches from DNA and exits the nucleus and goes into a ribosome in the cytoplasm. In the ribosome, translation occurs where the genetic code in mRNA is read and protein is synthesized. These proteins are used by cells to perform important functions such as repairing cellular damage, maintain cellular structure, create hormones, cell division etc.

True or false: it is unethical to give placebos to a control group.

Phenotype determines genotype. If false, make it a correct statement. A. True B. False

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. False

Explanation:

The genotype of an organism determines its phenotype. Phenotype is constituted by observable characteristics of an organism. These characteristics are codified by genes, and the combination of the differents variants of a gene which codify a phenotipic characteristic constitutes the genotype. For example: eyes color is a characteristic. Its is codified by variants of a gene. The combination of two variants of a gene gives a genotype, which codifies for the phenotype 'blue eyes'.
