Question

A certain communication pathway in a cell becomes unable to carry out the proper response. Which situation is not normal for a pathway, and would therefore cause a disruption?
The signal transduction pathway became activated after the signal bonded to the receptor.
Relay molecules were being transcribed just prior to reception.
The shape of the receiving end of the receptor molecule was altered slightly during translation.
The receptor for the signal was located at a far distance from where the signal was produced.

I believe it isn't a or b...

Answer 1

Would it be C because it is during transduction not translation?

Answer 2

i can read it really good. its all together

Answer 3

*cant*

Answer 6

I had a descriptive answer written and the page froze, so i'm gonna give you the jist.

C describes the structural abnormalities during the synthesis of the protein receptor.

B is a better answer because signalling molecules shouldnt be made unless the signal triggers them to.

Answer 7

I had B and it was wrong... This is a makeup assignment where I can get half credit if I fix the answer....

Answer 8

C would be my next option, but that's not really pertinent to the signal pathway process directly, it's indirectly related.

Answer 9

yeah... Thanks! i shall find out... annoying question haha
