Lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs) are a group of rare and inherited genetic disorders in which some part of the lysosome does not function properly, causing the accumulation of toxic substances in the cell and ultimately, cell death.

What would be the most likely explanation as to why the lysosomes of someone with this disease are not functioning properly?

Choose 1

(Choice A)
A
The enzymes of the lysosome are not breaking down enough toxic material.

(Choice B)
B
The enzymes of the lysosome are beginning to break down the ribosomes of the cell.

(Choice C)
C
The enzymes of the lysosome are breaking down too much toxic material.

(Choice D)
D
The enzymes of the lysosome are beginning to break down the DNA of the cell.

The enzymes of the lysosome are not breaking down enough toxic material

Explanation:

answer: 2

explanation:

yes

step 1: initiation

initiation is the beginning of transcription. it occurs when the enzyme rna polymerase binds to a region of a gene called the promoter. this signals the dna to unwind so the enzyme can ‘‘read’’ the bases in one of the dna strands. the enzyme is now ready to make a strand of mrna with a complementary sequence of bases.

step 2: elongation

elongation is the addition of nucleotides to the mrna strand. rna polymerase reads the unwound dna strand and builds the mrna molecule, using complementary base pairs. there is a brief time during this process when the newly formed rna is bound to the unwound dna. during this process, an adenine (a) in the dna binds to an uracil (u) in the rna.

step 3: termination

termination is the ending of transcription, and occurs when rna polymerase crosses a stop (termination) sequence in the gene. the mrna strand is complete, and it detaches from dna.
