A very rare disease will cause damage to the ribosomes in cells. what would be the direct effect of this disease? (hint: think of the function of
ribosomes

A rare disease that causes damage to the cell's ribosomes will have as a direct effect the inability to perform protein synthesis.

Explanation:

Ribosomes are cellular organelles formed by proteins and a type of RNA called ribosomal RNA, whose function is to translate the genetic code of the mRNA codon sequence and convert it into amino acids. This implies the first step for protein synthesis to occur.

If a rare disease could structurally or functionally affect the ribosomes, the translation of mRNA into amino acids could not occur, so protein synthesis in the cell would not be possible.

The consequences of the lack of protein synthesis involve severe consequences on the structure and function of a living organism.

answer; ///i believe that the correct answer is (a) specialized cells)

the level of progesterone is low at the pre-ovulatory phase of the cycle but it gradually increases and the levels are high at the luteal phase. if pregnancy occurs, the level of progesterone will be high throughout the pregnancy.

if egg is fertilized and the mother gets pregnant, progesterone starts preparing the uterus for the implantation. it starts building up the lining of uterus and make it hostile of the period of pregnancy.
