a group of mutations, known as mt-nd1
mt-nd1
, have been identified in mitochondrial dna
dna
. these mutations are associated with a number of debilitating diseases stemming from the production of nonfunctional proteins in the mitochondria.

which of the following cellular deficiencies would most likely be related to these mt-nd1
mt-nd1
mutations?

the cell is unable to synthesize most proteins required for normal cell functions.
0
a

the cell is unable to break down toxic materials and would accumulate large volumes of these materials.
0
b

the cell is able to synthesize proteins, but the proteins would not fold properly and would not contain the correct molecular tags for export from the cell.
0
c

the cell is unable to complete reactions related to electron transport and atp
atp
production

The cell is unable to complete reactions related to electron transport and ATP

ATP production.

Explanation:

The correct answer is D).

Explanation:

The electron transport chain and ATP production are associated with proteins in the inner membrane of the mitochondrion.

Nonfunctional proteins in the mitochondrion are likely to result in reduced ATP production.

answer: - few nutrients

high pressure

low temperatures

explanation: 1. few nutrients:   open-ocean zone is located way far from the land, which is the main source of the essential nutrients.2. high pressure: pressure increases by 1 atmosphere for every 10 meters increase in depth.3. ample sunlight: a large fraction of the sunlight is reflected back to the atmosphere from the sea surface. 4. varying salinity: below the thermocline, the water is isolated from the atmosphere so the salinity remains stable over the year.5. low temperatures:   the temperature of open-ocean zone ranges from a low of -2°c to an average of 17°c

the correct answer should be false
