1.	In an experiment you add rifampicin and paramomycin to the ribosome and mRNA mixture.

Answer» RIGHT option is (d) PARAMOMYCIN will increase error rate The explanation: Paramomycin acts as a RIBOSOMAL translation inhibitor while Rifampicin acts on RNA polymerase. Paramomycin actually increases the error rate of the translation thus producing wrong nonfunctional proteins ultimately killing the bacteria.
