Question

Fill in the blanks: Now the process of (translation) begins as the "start" (___) codon is read. To start the process of (translation) a molecule called (____) has the (amino acid) methionine attached to it and brings methionine to the (____). The polypeptide chain grows as each amino acid is brought to the ribosome by a (_____) molecule specified by the three nucleotide (____) on the (____) transcript. When the "stop" codon is reached, the process of (_____) and gene expression is complete.

Answer 1

Answer:

Pleases find the answers to the blank spaces in BOLD.

Explanation:

This question is describing the process of translation, which is the second process of gene expression where an mRNA molecule is used to synthesize a polypeptide chain (protein). The process starts with a start codon (AUG) on the mRNA strand. The answers in BOLD to each blank spaces are as follows:

N.B: A tRNA molecule is a type of RNA that reads the mRNA codon (using anticodon) in the ribosome and carries the corresponding amino acid to the growing polypeptide chain.

Now the process of (translation) begins as the "start" (AUG) codon is read. To start the process of (translation) a molecule called (transfer RNA or tRNA) has the (amino acid) methionine attached to it and brings methionine to the (RIBOSOME). The polypeptide chain grows as each amino acid is brought to the ribosome by a (tRNA) molecule specified by the three nucleotide (BASES/CODON) on the (mRNA) transcript. When the "stop" codon is reached, the process of (TRANSLATION) and gene expression is complete.
