Question

match each component of protein synthesis into the correct column to match it with its function in transcription or translation.
drag and drop the terms to correctly complete the table.
function component
binds to dna and synthesizes mrna
carries amino acids to the ribosome
serves as the template for protein synthesis
decodes the mrna to assemble the polypeptide chain
provides the sequence of bases used to synthesize mrna during transcription
signals the beginning of translation
signals the end of translation
build the polypeptide chain during translation
the final product of translation that determines traits and functions
amino acids trna ribosomes protein rna polymerase stop codon start codon mrna dna

Explanation:

• RNA polymerase: In transcription, RNA polymerase binds to DNA and synthesizes mRNA.
• tRNA: tRNA carries amino acids to the ribosome during translation.
• mRNA: mRNA serves as the template for protein synthesis (translation).
• Ribosomes: Ribosomes decode the mRNA to assemble the polypeptide chain in translation.
• DNA: DNA provides the sequence of bases used to synthesize mRNA during transcription.
• Start codon: The start codon signals the beginning of translation.
• Stop codon: The stop codon signals the end of translation.
• Amino acids: Amino acids build the polypeptide chain during translation.
• Protein: Protein is the final product of translation that determines traits and functions.

Answer:

• Binds to DNA and synthesizes mRNA: RNA polymerase
• Carries amino acids to the ribosome: tRNA
• Serves as the template for protein synthesis: mRNA
• Decodes the mRNA to assemble the polypeptide chain: Ribosomes
• Provides the sequence of bases used to synthesize mRNA during transcription: DNA
• Signals the beginning of translation: Start codon
• Signals the end of translation: Stop codon
• Build the polypeptide chain during translation: Amino acids
• The final product of translation that determines traits and functions: Protein
