← ScienceWhich consequence results when antibiotics disrupt prokaryotic ribozymes?
A)Impaired bacterial protein synthesis✓
B)Accelerated mitochondrial DNA replication
C)Enhanced eukaryotic cell apoptosis
D)Increased viral capsid protein production
💡 Explanation
In prokaryotes, antibiotics bind to ribozymes. The mechanism is inhibition altering ribosomal subunit configuration, causing protein synthesis cessation because the mRNA can't bind properly. Therefore translation is impaired rather than replication because codons are blocked.
