Answer:
C.The added epitope disrupts the function of the tagged protein
Explanation:
When an additional sequence is tagged to a protein to use comercial antibodies, there are several reasons why this procedure wouldn't work as expected (note that we're assuming the protein is being expressed but it's not possible to detect it).
For example, the sequence of nucleotide added to codify for the tagged epitope are removed during the RNA processing. In that case, the protein would be expressed without the epitope, so it would be impossible to localize it with the antibodies.
Also, it could be that the new epitope is affecting some way the protein folding, making it not functional. This way, it would be degraded by the cell so it wouldn't be detected.
Another possibility is that the epitope doesn't affects the protein folding nor its function, but during the folding ends up in a conformation that makes it inaccesible for the antibody.
In summary, the way as the possible answers to this question are shown, the correct option seems to be C:<em> The added epitope disrupts the function of the target protein.</em>

Sexual reprduction is when a sperm cell fertilzes an egg cell.
Because of its similarities . It is the process by which organisms are most suited to their local environment to survive.
Answer:
Translation occurs in a structure called the ribosome, which is a factory for the synthesis of proteins. ... Translation of an mRNA molecule by the ribosome occurs in three stages: initiation, elongation, and termination. During initiation, the small ribosomal subunit binds to the start of the mRNA sequence.
