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 Polypeptide chains express gene traits.
O tRNA delivers the DNA to the ribosome.
hy
O DNA is replicated into two daughter cells.
O mRNA is translated into amino acids.


Sagot :

The step of protein synthesis missed by Stella would be the translation of mRNA into amino acids.

The process of protein synthesis can essentially be divided into 2, namely:

  1. Transcription
  2. Translation

During transcription, genetic information on DNA is transcribed into mRNA. Once this is done, the genetic codes in mRNA are then translated to their respective amino acids and linked by peptide bonds.

The polypeptide bond undergoes further processing such as folding in the endoplasmic reticulum.

Thus, before amino acids can form a polypeptide chain, they must first be translated from genetic codes in mRNA.
