Explain how an mRNA molecule directs the synthesis of a protein.

Biology
1 answer:
Ivanshal [37]4 years ago
3 0

During  transcription process in the nucleus, the information for synthesis of a particular protein is copied on to mRNA.

mRNA then leaves the nucleus with this information in code, and enters the cytoplasm and attaches to a ribosome. Ribosome are the "work benches" of the cell and it is here that proteins are made.

In the ribosome, transfer RNA or tRNA recognizes a triplet of bases e.g. GCA on the attached mRNA and decodes it.  This is called the translation process.  Once tRNA has determined which amino acid corresponds to that triplet, it fetches that amino acid from the pool of free amino acids in the cytoplasm and into the ribosome where it is linked with other amino acids into a chain to form the protein.

Describe some of the modifications that polypeptide chains undergo before becoming functional proteins
umka2103 [35]
Polypeptide chains undergo some modifications before they become fully functional. Some of these modifications include: proteolytic cleavage, lipidation and glycosylation. Proteolytic cleavage refers to the removal of some amino acids from a polypeptide chain by proteases in order for the protein to become active. An example of a substance that is modified through this process is insulin.

What is the correct sequence of steps in the confirmation process?
dezoksy [38]
The process of confirmation include the following sequence;
1. President nominates
2. Senate committee examines
3. Senate debates
4. Floor vote is taken.
The confirmation process begins when the President selects a nominee for a vacant judgeship. The president then refers the nominee to the Senate Judiciary Committee. The Judiciary Committee holds a hearing on the nominee and then the judiciary votes on whether to report the nominee to the full Senate. The full Senate has the opportunity to debate the nomination and if any senator objects to unanimous consent, then a cloture motion must be filed in order to end debate and move to a vote. Once the senate holds a confirmation vote, with a majority voting to confirm, the nominee becomes a federal judge.
