Question

1. process in which the genetic code in rna is converted into a polypeptide chain (protein) is called ________ and occurs ________. replication; at a ribosome in the cytoplasm translation; at a ribosome in the cytoplasm transcription; in the nucleus translation; in the nucleus clear all

Explanation:

Translation is the process where the genetic code in mRNA is converted into a polypeptide chain (protein). Transcription occurs in the nucleus (converting DNA to mRNA), while translation occurs at ribosomes in the cytoplasm. Replication is for DNA duplication.

Answer:

translation, at a ribosome in the cytoplasm (the second option).
