Question

The protein building instructions must be sent out to the cytoplasm. A copy of the instructions is made in the form of ________. This process is called ______________________.

Answer 1

1. RNA

2. Transcription

Step-by-step explanation:

DNA stores the instructions required for the synthesis of proteins. However, the sequence of DNA does not directly serve as a template for protein synthesis. Rather, the template DNA strand is copied into the RNA. The process is called transcription.

The RNA in eukaryotes undergo modifications such as removal of introns and the addition of specific sequences at its 3' and 5' end. This mature mRNA that joins ribosomes for protein synthesis. The nucleotide sequence of mRNA is read in the form of triplets and each triplet code for a specific amino acid.
