Bacterial cells have been treated with a drug that stops a dividing cell. Which of the following processes would not be necessary for the survival of bacterial cells treated with this drug?

Since, the options are not given the question is incomplete the correct question is as follows:

Bacterial cells have been treated with a drug that stops a dividing cell. Which of the following processes would not be necessary for the survival of bacterial cells treated with this drug?

a. DNA replication

b. Translation

c. Transcription

d. Transcription and translation

e. Transcription, translation and DNA replication

e. Transcription, translation and DNA replication

Explanation:

It is given that the drug will inhibit the cell division in bacteria cells. So, the cells cannot progress to the S phase of cell cycle where DNA synthesis takes place. The DNA related processes like replication and transcription will not occur. The transcription involves the synthesis of RNA from DNA. This will further prevent the translation process, where the RNA is used for protein synthesis. Thus the inhibiting of cell cycle but the drug will prevent DNA replication, transcription and translation.
