|
|
The cell would be unable to make proteins.
|
|
|
Development of abnormal hereditary features would occur in the cell.
|
|
|
It would stimulate mitotic cell division.
|
|
|
Increased protein absorption would occur through the cell membrane.
|
Detailed explanation-1: -If the ribosomes of a cell were destroyed, what effect would this most likely have on the cell? It would stimulate mitotic cell division. (2) The cell would be unable to synthesize proteins.
Detailed explanation-2: -So, the correct answer is ‘Protein will not be formed’.
Detailed explanation-3: -Without ribosome biogenesis, translation of mRNA into protein ceases and cellular growth stops.
Detailed explanation-4: -If the ribosomes stop working the cell will not be able to make protein. Ribosomes are the protein factories of the cell. They read messenger RNA (mRNA) and assemble amino acids into polypeptide chains that eventually are folded into proteins. Proteins are needed for everything inside the cell.
Detailed explanation-5: -Which situation would most likely occur if all the ribosomes in a cell were destroyed? The cell would no longer synthesize chains of amino acids.
