Abiochemist identifies a new toxin that closes the nuclear pores of a cell's nucleus. what cellular process would be disrupted by this toxin? which one would not be? briefly explain your answer either way.

Transcription is a process that takes place inside the nucleus. Hence, the process of transcription would not be affected by the new toxin that closes the nuclear pores.

For the translation process to occur, the RNA has to be transported to ribosomes present in the cytoplasm. If the nuclear pores are closed by the toxins, then the RNA would not be able to travel to the cytoplasm. Hence, the process of translation will be affected by the new toxin.

the oldest known insects are believed to live around 400 millions ago as suggested by the fossil records.   some plants having woody stems also evolved during this time.

after the evolution of insects the first four legged species or the tetrapods evolved in shallow freshwater habitats from the intermediate species approximately 397 million years ago. the tetrapods went on conquering the land giving rise to amphibians, reptiles, mammals and birds.

the major split in tetrapods first occurred 340 million years ago branching off from amphibians.

363 million years ago when the carboniferous period began the insects started roaming on land and taking flights, following which the four limbed tetrapods adapted in the terrestrial habitat.

i guess because love can be toxic ‍♂️
