Ricin comes under the category of functionally related toxins, in a combination known as RIPs (ribosome inactivating proteins). This disables ribosomes and stops the process of protein synthesis.  

They directly associate with and inactivate the ribosomes or modify the factors taking part in the process of translation, generally the elongation step. These proteins bring about depurination of adenine at position 4324 in the 28 S rRNA.  

This further inhibits the generation of a critical-stem-loop configuration to which the elongation factor is considered to combine at the time of the translocation step of translation. The ultimate outcome of this activity is the complete inhibition of cellular translation.

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

Pleiotropy

Explanation:

Pleiotropy is a condition that occurs when one gene affect several other phenotypic traits that are not related. The autosomal dominant allele of the genetic disease called blue sclera, is pleiotropic. It has the potential of causing also fragile bones and deafness which are entirely unrelated traits. Genetic mutation of a gene is the most likely explainable reason for the connection of these traits together.
