Question

After mature mRNA is created (see first diagram) where might it go (see second diagram)?

Question 6 options:

Inside a chromosome to be stored for future use when the cell is copied


Into the chloroplast to become part of the photosynthesis process


mRNA crosses the cell wall and exits the cell to enter the bloodstream to make protein with the white blood cells


The rough endoplasmic reticulum to created proteins that can be packaged in vesicles.

Answer 1

After mature mRNA is created, it migrates to the cytoplasm then to the rough endoplasmic reticulum to create proteins that can be packaged in vesicles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Translation is the process by which mRNA is decoded and translated to produce a polypeptide sequence, otherwise known as a protein. This method of synthesizing proteins is directed by the mRNA and accomplished with the help of a ribosome, a large complex of ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) and proteins. In translation, a cell decodes the mRNA genetic message and assembles the brand-new polypeptide chain. Transfer RNA, or tRNA, translates the sequence of codons on the mRNA strand. The main function of tRNA is to transfer a free amino acid from the cytoplasm to a ribosome, where it is attached to the growing polypeptide chain. tRNAs continue to add amino acids to the growing end of the polypeptide chain until they reach a stop codon on the mRNA. The ribosome then releases the completed protein into the cell.
