Question

stella described protein synthesis as a process that makes the necessary proteins for the human body to function. she explained the process in the following steps. 1. dna is transcribed into mrna. 2. amino acids form a chain. 3. the amino acid chain is folded into a protein in the endoplasmic reticulum. what step did stella miss in her explanation? (1 point) o mrna is translated into amino acids. o trna delivers the dna to the ribosome. o polypeptide chains express gene traits. o dna is replicated into two daughter cells.

Explanation:

Protein synthesis has two main steps - transcription and translation. Stella mentioned transcription (DNA to mRNA). After transcription, mRNA must be translated into amino - acids which then form a chain. She skipped the translation step. tRNA delivers amino - acids to the ribosome (not DNA), polypeptide chains are formed from amino - acids and gene traits expression is a later complex process not a direct step in basic protein synthesis, and DNA replication is a different process from protein synthesis.

Answer:

mRNA is translated into amino acids.
