Question

The first step of protein synthesis is __________________. This step occurs in the _________________ of the cell. During this step the enzyme __________________________ makes a copy of a gene out of RNA. This is called a _________________ RNA or mRNA. Some parts of mRNA called ______________ have to be cut out because they are not part of the code for the final protein. This is called mRNA splicing. The remaining parts which do code for the protein being built are called _____________.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is -

1. transcription 2. nucleus, 3. RNA polymerases, 4. messenger, 5. introns 6. gene or exons.

Explanation:

Protein synthesis is a two-stage process, transcription, and translation. Transcription is the first stage that takes place in the nucleus of eukaryotic organisms.

The enzyme RNA polymerase is the essential enzyme for this process which helps in copying nucleotides from DNA to get out of RNA, The end product of this process is called messenger RNA or mRNA. Introns are the non-essential part of the mRNA as they are not part of the coding protein and hence cut out from the sequence by the process called RNA splicing. The remaining part of the mRNA is called gene and the part of the gene code for the building protein called exons.
