The antibiotic tetracycline binds to bacterial ribosomes. Which process does it block, and why are human cells much less affected?

1. ATranslation, because bacterial ribosomes differ from human ribosomes
2. BTranscription, because human cells have no RNA polymerase of their own
3. CDNA replication, because bacteria have no DNA polymerase
4. DTranslation, because human cells have no ribosomes
