Some antibiotics can harm a cell's ribosomes. Which of the following would you predict to be the most likely long-term effect of damage to ribosomes? Errors would be made during DNA replication, resulting in mutations and defects in the cell.
Proteins would not be modified after being synthesized, so they would not function properly.
The cell would not be able to create the proteins needed for important functions and growth.
Waste products would not be broken down and disposed of properly, causing the cell to die.
