The hormone to be given is oxytocin. Oxytocin is a hormone produced by the paraventricular nuclei of the hypothalamus then stored in the posterior pituitary gland (along with antidiuretic hormone or vasopressin) that is responsible mainly for uterine contraction and milk ejection or letdown. Oxytocin induces contraction of the myoepithelial cells in the breast for milk letdown. On the other hand, there is upregulation of oxytocin receptors during parturition which makes the uterus more sensitive to oxytocin. Oxytocin is also known to induce labor and reduce post-partum bleeding.

Ronch [10]

The correct answer is D) The codon AUG must be identified.

What must occur for protein translation to begin is that the codon AUG must be identified.

The process starts when the 5AUG or start codon is identified. In the polypeptide chain, the 5AUG is the first amino acid. We are talking about Transition, the process when the genetic code in an RNA molecule has to be decoded in a polypeptide chain in order to deliver an amino acid sequence. In this complex transition system, there are important components included such as ribosomes, transfer RNA, and mRNA.
