Answer:
Ribosome
Explanation:
Ribosomes are mainly made up of ribosomal RNA and ribosomal proteins. Each has two subunits (30S and 60S or prokaryotes) and 40S and 60S in eukaryotes. The smaller unit usually reads the mRNA -with the message from the nucleus -on how to ‘manufacture’ the proteins. The larger subunit actually does the translation by bringing in t_RNAs that carry specific amino acids and then forming peptide bonds between amino acids and ultimately forming polypeptide chains.

Answer:
1. RNA polymerase binds to the promoter.
2. DNA strands are unwound and separated
3. The complementary RNA nucleotides are added.
Take a look at the attached picture. First, the RNA polymerase must bind to the promoter region to initiate the whole process. DNA must be unwound by DNA helicase, then it will make the RNA transcript, which consists of adding the complementary RNA nucleotides to the DNA strand. Then the transcript leaves the nucleus and begins translation.
