Certain antibiotics kill prokaryotes by attaching to RNA polymerase. What effect would this have on protein synthesis?
- ACodons on mRNA will be unable to hydrogen bond to complementary anticodons on tRNA.
- BCondensation reactions joining RNA nucleotides will not take place to form mRNA.
- CDNA will not unwind and unzip to allow for base-pairing with RNA nucleotides.
- DFree RNA nucleotides will not base-pair to exposed bases on the DNA template strand.
