Question

explain how this exploration tests the prediction
prediction: rna determines the sequence
of amino acids in proteins and polypeptides
by a two - step process: transcription of dna
produces mrna in the nucleus, then
translation of the mrna to trna takes place
in the ribosome in the cytoplasm.
the words underlined above are the key
processes of the exploration. complete the
following sentences.
transcription produces mrna.
translation takes place in the ribosome
use the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 to place the
protein creation steps below in the correct order.
ribosome attaches to the mrna.
information is transcribed in dna to mrna.
trna anticodon carries an amino acid that
compliments the mrna codon.
mrna leaves the nucleus.
the chain of amino acids forms a protein.

Explanation:

Protein synthesis involves transcription (DNA to mRNA in nucleus) and translation (mRNA to protein in ribosome). First, DNA is transcribed to mRNA (step 2). Then mRNA leaves nucleus (step 4). Ribosome attaches to mRNA (step 1). tRNA anticodon pairs with mRNA codon (step 3). Amino - acid chain forms protein (step 5).

Answer:

1. Information is transcribed in DNA to mRNA.
2. mRNA leaves the nucleus.
3. Ribosome attaches to the mRNA.
4. tRNA anticodon carries an amino acid that compliments the mRNA codon.
5. The chain of amino acids forms a protein.
