LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

C. These antibiotics interfere with protein synthesis within eukaryotic mitochondria.

Explanation:

Eukaryotic mitochondria have 70s ribosomes and is made up of 50s and 30s subunits which has similarities to the ribosomes of bacterial cells. This likeness

at times causes antibiotics that ought to be toxic to bacterial ribosomes to cause some toxicity in eukaryotic cells instead.
