a group of mutations, known as mt-nd1
mt-nd1
, have been identified in mitochondrial dna
dna
. these mutations are associated with a number of debilitating diseases stemming from the production of nonfunctional proteins in the mitochondria.

which of the following cellular deficiencies would most likely be related to these mt-nd1
mt-nd1
mutations?

the cell is unable to synthesize most proteins required for normal cell functions.
0
a

the cell is unable to break down toxic materials and would accumulate large volumes of these materials.
0
b

the cell is able to synthesize proteins, but the proteins would not fold properly and would not contain the correct molecular tags for export from the cell.
0
c

the cell is unable to complete reactions related to electron transport and atp
atp
production
