Practice question
Question
A substance blocks every nuclear pore without damaging the nuclear envelope itself. Which effect would follow most directly?
Explanation
Nuclear pores are passages formed where the two nuclear-envelope membranes fuse. RNA and protein molecules move through them in both directions between the nucleus and cytoplasm, so blocking the pores would directly obstruct this exchange.
