Question

You genetically modified a bacterium so it can only produce ribosomes from a plant.
The most immediate effect on this bacterium would be;
A. Nothing. It would produce proteins as normal because the genetic code is
essentially universal
B. It may not be able to produce proteins
C. It would not be able to transcribe mRNA
D. It would not be able to remove introns
Select the best option above and explain why you chose that answer. Your
explanation should include a description of the role of the ribosome in the cell and
how it interacts with mRNA and tRNA. As well as explanations for why the other options are not correct
