Answer: The correct answer for the filling the blank is Gene.

Gene is a segment of DNA present in the genome of an organism. It carries information for the specific characteristics of the organism. It is also known as heredity unit as the information is carried from one generation to the next.

Two processes take place for gene expression. These are Transcription and Translation.

In transcription, DNA of the gene is converted to mRNA ( messenger RNA). A gene has a transcription start site from where transcription begins and a transcription stop site, which terminates transcription. mRNA contains start codon and stop codon for the initiation and termination of translation.

The translation of mRNA gives specific protein. Since the sequence of genes are very specific, therefore, one type of protein is coded by one gene.

Answer:

The Empire of Great Britain had a "global power," which was also known as a "superpower" concerning resources, influences and geopolitical landscapes.

What is the process of protein synthesis

gulaghasi [49]

The process of protein synthesis involves two steps such as transcription and translation. In the process of transcription the encoded information in the DNA is transcripts or encoded into messenger RNA or mRNA inside the nucleus. This mRNA then comes out of the nucleus to the cytoplasm. In the process of translation the mRNA molecule attach with the ribosomes and tRNA molecules to synthesise the protein.
