Multiple Choice

Figure 20.2

-In Figure 20.2,chloramphenicol binds to the 50S ribosome subunit.What effect would occur if this drug is administered to a eukaryote?

A) Nothing - eukaryotes have a 60S large ribosomal subunit,not a 50S.
B) The drug would effectively shut down protein synthesis in the eukaryote.
C) The drug would bind instead to the 30S ribosome subunit,but still shut down protein synthesis.
D) The drug would bind to the 50S ribosome subunit,but at a different location,and protein synthesis would continue.
