Answer:

HeLa cells contain rare traits that make them invaluable to scientific research. Research into the Lacks family may provide insight into this mutation and cell proliferation.

Explanation:

HeLa cells have a controversial origin, rooted in ethical breaches.  They were derived from a non-consenting, female African-American donor patient, Henrietta Lacks who was terminally ill with a form of cervical cancer. These particular cells have a remarkably short period of proliferation, due to their active telomerase.

During cell division, these telomoerases were found to make repeat copies of the cell's telomere, and the cells can divide an unlimited number of times in lab cell cultures- a very rare occurrence. They were later commercialized-  HeLa cells are durable, robust and commonly used in cancer cell research.

The amino acid chain breaks away from the ribosome and folds into a protein.
mezya [45]

The correct order of steps is 3, 2, 4, and 1.

<h3>What is translation?</h3>

It is a process whereby the genetic codes in transcribed mRNA molecules are translated into their respective amino acids.

The steps involved in translation are:

  • Transcribed mRNA leaves the nucleus and travels to the cytoplasm where it gets attached to the ribosome
  • tRNA molecules bring the amino acids coded for by the RNA from the cytoplasm and begin to assemble them
  • The amino acid chain grows as the mRNA molecules are read by the translation machinery (the ribosome) and more amino acids are brought from the cytoplasm.
  • The amino acid chain breaks away from the ribosome and folds into a protein.

Thus, the step is 3,2,4, and 1.
