5.Molecular Basis of Inheritance
normal
Streptomycin and related antibiotics bind to small sub-units of ribosomes in prokaryotes and they
A
Inhibit protein synthesis
B
Block the action of peptidyl transferase
C
Cause misreading of the genetic codes
D
Cause point mutation
Solution
(a) Inhibition of protein synthesis clears the bacterial infection without harming the humans.
This indicates that there is some difference in the molecular structure of prokaryotic and eukaryotic ribosomes.
