KROK 1 2017 – Question 12 · KROK (Medicine) · Biological Chemistry
A patient has decreased concentration of magnesium ions that are required for ribosomes connection to granular endoplasmic reticulum. This condition is known to disturb the process of protein biosynthesis. Disturbance occurs at the following stage:
- A. Amino acids activation
- B. Replication
- C. Transcription
- D. Processing
- E. Translation
Hint
Ask which step of gene expression physically takes place on the ribosome, so that anything weakening ribosome attachment would interfere with it.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
