What does Phase II metabolism typically involve?

Cellular replication
DNA mutation
Conjugation reactions
Protein synthesis

The correct answer is: Conjugation reactions

Phase II metabolism typically involves conjugation reactions. These reactions are a part of detoxification and involve the addition of polar molecules to make a compound more water-soluble and easier to eliminate. Option A, cellular replication, is not typically involved in metabolism. Option B, DNA mutation, is incorrect because this refers to changes in genetic material, which is not a part of metabolism. Option D, protein synthesis, is incorrect because this refers to the process of creating new proteins, which is not a part of metabolism.
