Question 2

mRNA joins the ribosome, and the anticodons from tRNA join mRNA to form a chain of amino acids.

Revolt · Accepted Answer

step three

Question 3

an enzyme unzips DNA and free RNA nucleotides join DNA to form mRNA.

Revolt · Accepted Answer

step one

Question 4

A chain of amino acids is formed from peptide bonds, creating a protein.

step four

Question 5

mRNA is transported from the nucleus of the cell to the ribosomes of the cell.

Revolt · Accepted Answer

step two

Question 6

How are the order of codons determined?

Revolt · Accepted Answer

The DNA sequence determines the order.

Question 7

What is one way scientists are able to study operons in organisms?

Revolt · Accepted Answer

by studying the number and organization of operons by reading the genome sequence

Question 8

What is needed for translation to occur? Check all that apply.

Revolt · Accepted Answer

mRNA; ribosome; tRNA; codons

Question 9

What is the purpose of operons in protein synthesis?

Revolt · Accepted Answer

They contain promoters and operators that determine when a gene is transcribed.
