The medical term is DIAGNOSIS.
Diagnosis is a medical term which refers to the process of determining the disease condition that a patient is suffering from. Accurate diagnosis is made by examining the symptoms of the disease that the patient exhibits. Treatment can only be started after correct diagnosis has been made.
Answer:
Methotrexate inhibits the synthesis of DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis of the cells in the experiment.
Explanation:
Methotrexate competitively inhibits the enzyme dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) which is involved in the synthesis of tetrahydrofolate from the inactive dihydrofolate. The methotrexate blocks the enzyme by binding to its active site thereby preventing further reaction of the dihydrofolate reductase enzyme and dihydrofolate. Tetrahydrofolate is a useful material for the de novo synthesis of thymidine, a nucleoside. And without thymidine, DNA synthesis is hindered. Methotrexate therefore inhibits the synthesis of DNA, RNA, thymidylates and of course protein synthesis.
The answer is probably got to be C.
