Question

figure a: figure a shows the process of protein synthesis. which of the following correctly describes step 2 in figure a? transcription - takes place in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells translation - takes place on the ribosomes in the cytoplasm of cells mitosis - takes place in the somatic cells of an organism replication - takes place in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells

Explanation:

In protein synthesis, transcription (Step 1) converts DNA to RNA. Translation (Step 2) uses RNA to build proteins. Translation occurs on ribosomes in the cytoplasm. Mitosis is cell division, and replication duplicates DNA.

Answer:

translation- takes place on the ribosomes in the cytoplasm of cells
