In 1953, who developed the model that is shown below?
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

The right answer is Watson and Crick.

The famous science journal "Nature" published an article of two pages, accompanied by one figure, titled "A Structure for Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid". Its authors are James Dewey Watson (24) and Francis Crick (36).

They synthesized the work of their scientific colleagues and were able to explain with a remarkable art of deduction how the DNA molecule contained in the cells of all living beings was duplicated.

Explain how the triplet code of dna is transcribed and translated in the synthesis of proteins
timama [110]
Ok this is going to be a long answer lol


Translation is the process by which a protein is synthesized from the information contained in a molecule of messenger RNA (mRNA). During translation, an mRNA sequence is read using the genetic code, which is a set of rules that defines how an mRNA sequence is to be translated into the 20-letter code of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins.



During transcription, the DNA of a gene serves as a template for complementary base-pairing, and an enzyme called RNA polymerase II catalyzes the formation of a pre-mRNA molecule, which is then processed to form mature mRNA

I hope this helps :)
