Question

if a signal sequence is removed from an er protein, what happens to the altered protein? choose one: it remains in the cytosol. it can enter any organelle other than the er. it is unable to exit the er. it is escorted to the er by chaperone proteins. it is immediately degraded.

Explanation:

The signal sequence is crucial for targeting proteins to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Without it, the protein - synthesis machinery in the cytosol will not recognize the need to send the protein to the ER, so it remains in the cytosol.

Answer:

It remains in the cytosol.
