scZoUnD [109]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Each amino- acid contain carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen. All the amino- acids are mostly the same by structure because all contain a carbon atom in its center, an amine group, and a carboxyl group.

The unique characteristics that each amino acid has is determined by the R group(side chain) which is attached to its alpha carbon. The R group in each amino acid is different from others.  

The simplest amino acid is glycine which does not have any R group so it has a hydrogen atom in place of the R group. So side chain(R group) determines the unique characteristics of each amino acid.

Ans. (4). protein synthesis.

Protein synthesis can be defined as a process that involves formation of polypeptides or proteins by using information present in DNA. It is divided into two steps, transcription and translation.

During transcription, DNA is transcribed into mRNA and information present in DNA is transferred to mRNA as codons. Codons represent triplet of nucleotides and each codon codes for a specific codon.

Translation involves formation of protein, during which amino acids are added to the growing polypeptide chain with the help of codons.

The given diagram represents process of translation. Thus, the correct answer is option (4).
