Answer:

The acronym mRNA means messenger ribonucleic acid, the nucleic acid responsible for transporting genetic information to the ribosome so that protein synthesis can occur.

Explanation:

Messenger ribonucleic acid or mRNA, is a nucleic acid responsible for containing the genetic code, organizing it into codons —depending on the specific sequence of nitrogenous bases— and taking it to the ribosome for translation and initiation of protein synthesis.

A codon is a sequence of three mRNA nucleotides, each of which encodes a specific amino acid, in addition to:

  • <em>Marking the start of protein synthesis, by means of the UAC start codon, which also encodes for amino acid methionine (MET). </em>
  • <em>Indicate the stop of protein synthesis, by means of the STOP codons </em>—<em>UAA, UAG and UGA</em>— <em>which do not code for amino acids. </em>

This can be seen in the table:

  1. The first line is the sequence of nitrogenous bases of one of the DNA strands.
  2. The second line should indicate the sequence of complementary bases of the other DNA strand, which will be transcribed. However, the presence of uracil indicates that it is the mRNA transcribed
  3. The third line is the sequence of nitrogenous bases in the mRNA strand, organized in triplets or codons.
  4. The fourth line expresses each of the amino acids and instructions found in the mRNA fragment that was transcribed methionine (start), lysine, tryptophan, proline and STOP (although GUU encodes the amino acid valine and is not a STOP codon).

Gennadij [26K]

I believe the correct answer would be B.  Semipermeable means that it allows certain substances to pass through, and certain other ones to not pass through.  So given all of your options, I would say that B makes the most sense.  Hope this helped!
