Question

atherosclerosis is a disease that obstructs blood flow and, therefore, oxygen supply to target organs. a major component of atherosclerosis is the excessive reproduction of smooth muscle cells of the blood vessels. certain drugs may have the potential to reverse or prevent the unregulated reproduction of the diseased blood - vessel cells. which of these processes is the most likely target of these drugs? a cell division b erythroblast differentiation c dna transcription d cellular respiration 11 * 5 points o a o b o c o d

Explanation:

Excessive reproduction of cells is related to cell division. To reverse or prevent unregulated cell - reproduction, drugs are most likely to target cell division. Erythroblast differentiation is about the development of red - blood - cell precursors, DNA transcription is about making RNA from DNA, and cellular respiration is about energy production, none of which directly relate to uncontrolled cell reproduction in the context of atherosclerosis.

Answer:

A. Cell division
