<span>Translation
</span>Remember that transcription happens in the nucleus as it changes from DNA
to mRNA. In translation,
the mRNA first has to leave the
nucleus and go into the cytoplasm of the cell.
The process of translation actually occurs in the cell’s ribosomes.
<span>
</span>The process of translation uses the genetic code on the mRNA strand to
direct the construction (making) of a protein molecule. <span>
</span>1. A ribosome attaches to an mRNA
molecule in the cytoplasm.<span>
</span>2. As each codon passes through the
ribosome, tRNA molecules bring the matching amino acids into the ribosome. Each tRNA has a set of 3 unpaired nitrogenous
bases called an anticodon which matches up with the codon coming through the
ribosome. So one end of a tRNA has an
anticodon and the other end carries the amino acid which is how the code is
translated.<span>
</span>3. The ribosome and the rRNA
molecules it contains attach the amino acids together as they are being
translated. The protein chain will keep
growing until the ribosome reaches the stop codon on the mRNA. At that point, translation is done and the
ribosome lets go.
Hope this helps!!!

Shortness of breath is very common in the last trimester of pregnancy. This is because, the baby inside the uterus is growing and it starts to push the uterus that compresses the lungs above the diaphragm. This, leads to restricted expansion of the lungs while breathing and causes shortness of breath. Another reason for shortness of breath can be due to low iron content in the body.
If a pregnant woman in her last trimester reports occasional shortness of breath, the nurse should instruct her to:
1. take deep breath and start doing prenatal yoga
2. sleep on the left hand side
3. practicing good posture and standing straight
4. relax as much as possible
Answer:
C) Through genomic imprinting, methylation regulates expression of the paternal copy of the gene in the brain.
Explanation:
The pattern of gene expression wherein either paternal or maternal gene is expressed in specific cells while the other one is prevented from expression is known as genomic imprinting.
In the given example, the maternal copy of the gene on chromosome 15 is expressed in brain cells while its paternal copy is not expressed in these cells. Hence, the pattern of expression of this gene is regulated through genome imprinting. One of the mechanism is methylation of cytidine residues of CpG islands of the DNA that are more frequently present within promoters of the genes.
When the cytidine residues of these sequences are methylated into 5-methylcytidine, the transcription factors do not bind to these promoters preventing the expression of these genes.
Hence, methylation of cytidine residue in CpG islands of the promoters of the gene present on chromosome 15 could have silenced its expression in brain cells.
