- An enzyme such as ligase is a protein molecule. When high temperature is applied to ligase, the protein molecule changes its shape and is no longer able to perform its function. The enzyme is said to be denatured. If ligase was denatured in a cell, how would it affect its cell cycle? Select one: a. The cell would not be able to obtain amino acids. b. The cell would not be able to transcribe DNA. c. The cell would not be able to produce protein molecules. d.

G₁ cells are the only ones that do not have their chromatin in a highly condensed state. D.
