Translation is a complex process that translated the genetic information from the language of DNA in the language of RNA. The first step in this process is the binding of the initiator tRNA (that is bound to the aminoacid methionine) to the small ribosomal unit. Then, the small ribosomal unit joins the mRNA; it is the part of the ribosome mainly responsible for translating. After that, the initiator tRNA binds to the start codon. This reaction frees some initiation factors that make large ribosomal units bind to the small one. Hence, the large ribosomal subunit completes the initiation complex afterwards. The role of the large ribosomal unit is mainly to make the peptidic bonds between the aminoacids in the new protein. After that, amino acids are paired with anticodons, gradually forming a long chain; this chain is called a polypeptide and is the skeleton of the protein that is created. Finally, this process stops when one of the three possible stop codons are reached.

A diploid (2n) cell divides by meiosis, producing four daughter cells. Next, each daughter cell divides by mitosis, producing a

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

Each granddaughter cell is haploid (n)

Explanation:

Meiosis in the parent cell with a "2n" chromosome number would produce a total of four daughter cells. Each of these daughter cells would have an "n" number of chromosomes as separation of homologous chromosomes to the opposite poles during anaphase-I reduces the chromosome number to half in the daughter cells. Also, the event of crossing over and random segregation of homologous chromosomes makes the daughter cells of meiosis genetically different from each other.

Each of these four cells enters mitosis and forms a total of eight cells. Since mitosis maintains the chromosome number, each of the eight cells would have an "n" number of chromosomes and would be haploid.

237 grams (g) is equal to kilograms (kg).

Rasek [7]

Explanation:

Hey there!!

We have,

1000gm = 1kg

$237gm = \frac{1}{1000} \times 237$

= 0.237 kg

Hope it helps...
