Question

In which order from A to F does transcription and translation occur?

A. Examines if tRNA matches the codon on the mRNA
B. Attach amino acid to tRNA
C. Recognize the stop codon
D. Link a new amino acid to the end of a growing protein molecule
E. Create mRNA F. Find the start codon on mRNA

Answer 1

The correct order from A to F for transcription and translation is E (Create mRNA), F (Find start codon on mRNA), B (Attach amino acid to tRNA), A (Examine tRNA and mRNA codon match), D (Link new amino acid to protein), and C (Recognize stop codon).

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the order from A to F in which transcription and translation occur, we must understand each step of the protein synthesis process. Here is the correct sequence:

1. E. Create mRNA: This is the transcription process where the DNA code is transcribed to messenger RNA (mRNA).
2. F. Find the start codon on mRNA: This is the beginning of the translation process where the ribosome identifies the start codon AUG on the mRNA strand.
3. B. Attach amino acid to tRNA: Transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules are charged with amino acids ready to be incorporated into the growing polypeptide chain.
4. A. Examines if tRNA matches the codon on the mRNA: Each tRNA anticodon is matched with the complementary codon on the mRNA strand during the elongation stage of translation.
5. D. Link a new amino acid to the end of a growing protein molecule: As the ribosome moves along the mRNA, new amino acids are added to the growing chain by the formation of peptide bonds.
6. C. Recognize the stop codon: Translation ends when a stop codon on the mRNA is recognized, signaling to release the newly synthesized protein.
