What would MOST LIKELY happen if the process in the nucleus is interrupted?
a
Amino acids would bind together.
b
DNA would not be decoded into an RNA molecule.
c
DNA would not be able to be produced.
d
Protein synthesis would be increased.
The process occurring in the nucleus that is essential for protein synthesis is the transcription of DNA into RNA. If this process is interrupted, then DNA would not be decoded into an RNA molecule. This interruption would prevent the creation of mRNA (messenger RNA), which is necessary for the translation process in the cytoplasm where amino acids are assembled into proteins. Therefore, the most likely outcome of interrupting the process in the nucleus is:
b. DNA would not be decoded into an RNA molecule.
As a result, option b is the most accurate answer among the given choices.
