The correct answer is "they are used to assemble amino acids for protein synthesis".
During translation, a messenger RNA (the product of DNA transcription) is decoded into a protein with a specific sequence of amino acids. This decoding happens by reading the mRNA's nucleotides in groups of three. These triplets of nucleotides are called codons.

Codons mainly are associated with amino acids, but there are some codons which signal the beginning and the end of a protein. There are three "stop" codons (end of the protein) and one "start". Codons are specifying the correct sequence of amino acids in the assembling polypeptide.

How is protein synthesis different in prokaryotes and eukaryotes?
Viktor [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is option B

Explanation:

Translation is the process of synthesis of proteins from mRNA in organisms  and transcription is the process of synthesis of mRNA from DNA.

Both prokaryote and eukaryotes shows the presence of translation but both shows many differences in the process of protein synthesis like site of transcription and translation as in eukaryotes transcription takes place in nucleus while translation takes place in cytoplasm. Since prokaryote lacks the nucleus, both transcription and translation takes place in cytoplasm and lacks the process related to post-translational modifications due to which they take place at the same time.

Thus, option B  is the correct answer.

gladu [14]

Answer:

Vitamin E

Explanation:

Vitamin E is a fat-soluble nutrient present in many foods. In the body, it acts  as an antioxidant, by helping to protect cells against damage caused by free radicals. Vitamin E will have greater antioxidant power than Vitamin C,  since it is fat soluble, which will allow it to be combined with fatty acids more easily.
