Ricin
Ricin is a biological toxin that is cytotoxic. It is a protein found in the seeds of the castor oil plant and acts by inhibiting protein synthesis in cells, leading to cell death.
No, protein synthesis does not occur during replication. Replication is the process of copying DNA, while protein synthesis occurs during transcription and translation, where DNA is used as a template to create proteins.
Bacteriostatic methods of action inhibit bacterial growth and reproduction without killing them. Examples include inhibiting protein synthesis, DNA replication, or disrupting cell wall synthesis in bacteria. Antibiotics like tetracycline and macrolides work through bacteriostatic mechanisms.
Protein synthesis refers to the process whereby the the biological cells generate the new proteins.
One event that is not part of the process of DNA replication is transcription. While DNA replication involves the synthesis of new DNA strands from existing ones, transcription is the process by which a segment of DNA is copied into RNA. These processes serve different purposes: replication is for cell division, while transcription is for protein synthesis.

Protein synthesis is the process by which proteins are made in the body.
DNA directly controls protein replication and synthesis.
During DNA replication, the ATG start codon serves as the beginning point for the synthesis of a specific protein. This codon signals the start of protein synthesis by attracting the necessary molecules and enzymes to initiate the process. As a result, the DNA replication at the ATG start codon plays a crucial role in ensuring that the correct protein is produced in cells.
Protein synthesis is the process of creating proteins from RNA instructions, while DNA replication is the process of copying DNA to create identical DNA molecules. Protein synthesis occurs in the ribosomes and is essential for building and repairing tissues, while DNA replication occurs in the nucleus and is necessary for cell division and passing on genetic information.

One surprising aspect of DNA replication is the accuracy of the process, with very few errors occurring. In protein synthesis, the complexity and precision of the steps involved in translating the genetic code into functional proteins is also remarkable.
Double stranded DNA or RNA is significant in genetic replication and protein synthesis because it serves as a template for the accurate copying of genetic information. During replication, the double strands separate to allow for the synthesis of new complementary strands. In protein synthesis, the double strands provide the instructions for the sequence of amino acids that make up proteins. This process is essential for the proper functioning and development of living organisms.
The "S" phase, during which protein synthesis occurs.
Protein synthesis can be stopped by blocking translation, primarily by inhibiting the functions of ribosomes or tRNA molecules in the cell. For example, antibiotics like puromycin can prematurely terminate protein synthesis by mimicking the structure of aminoacyl-tRNA and binding to the A site on the ribosome. Additionally, certain drugs or compounds can target key components of the translation machinery to halt protein synthesis.
