The mold Aspergillus flavus grows on grain. A. flavus produces a toxin that binds to DNA in the bodies of animals that eat the grain.


The binding of the toxin to DNA blocks transcription, so it directly interferes with the ability of an animal cell to do which of the following?
Responses

transport glucose across the cell membrane into the cytoplasm

produce ATP using energy released from glucose and other nutrients

transfer proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum to Golgi complexes

send protein-building instructions from the nucleus to the cytoplasm and ribosomes
