Answer:

Through the Transcription & Translation, protein is synthesized

Step-by-step explanation:

In the process of transcription, DNA is copied to mRNA. It is the mRNA that carries information about the protein synthesis. It has two steps – a) Formation of pre messenger RNA with the help of RNA polymerase enzymes and b) Edition of pre messenger RNA to produce desired RNA known as splicing.

In translation, mRNA is transported out of nucleus to the ribosome for the synthesis of proteins. tRNA is required for transportation.

Let the genomic sequence to be transcribed by –

3’ – TAA CGC CGT TCG TCA – 5’

The transcribed mRNA sequence would be

5’ – AUU GCG GCA AGC AGU – 3’

The translated genomic sequence is

Ile Ala Ala Ser Ser
