Question

a process called ___ uses the code carried by messenger rna for protein synthesis.
unwinding
transcription
translation
elongation
what does \tt\ represent in this cross?
t = ability to roll tongue
t = inability to roll tongue

Explanation:

1. In protein synthesis, translation is the process that uses the code carried by messenger RNA (mRNA) to assemble amino - acids into a polypeptide chain. Transcription is the process of making mRNA from DNA. Unwinding is part of DNA replication and transcription processes to expose the DNA strands. Elongation is a phase in processes like DNA replication, transcription, and translation where the molecule (DNA, RNA, or polypeptide) is lengthened.
2. In genetics, when considering a trait like tongue - rolling where \(T\) represents the ability to roll the tongue and \(t\) represents the inability to roll the tongue, \(TT\) represents a homozygous dominant genotype. Homozygous means having two identical alleles for a particular gene, and dominant indicates that the trait associated with the \(T\) allele will be expressed.

Answer:

1. C. translation
2. A homozygous dominant genotype
