A smartphone app converts spoken English into Spanish. This is similar to the process by which ________ are converted into _____
___. Group of answer choices nitrogenous bases in DNA; nitrogenous bases in mRNA nitrogenous bases in mRNA; a sequence of amino acids amino acids in a protein; nitrogenous bases in tRNA nitrogenous bases in tRNA; nitrogenous bases in mRNA
The correct answer is - nitrogenous bases in mRNA, a sequence of amino acids.
Explanation:
The translation is one of the two-stage events in protein synthesis. Protein synthesis is the process in which protein or polypeptide chains are synthesized by the DNA.
The translation process is similar to a smartphone app converts spoken English into Spanish as it involves the translation of the sequence of nitrogenous bases in mRNA molecules to the polypeptide or sequence of the amino acids.
Thus, the correct answer is -nitrogenous bases in mRNA, a sequence of amino acids.
