Question

converting mrna into a sequence of amino acids is called__. a. transfection b. transcription c. translation d. transgenetic e. transformation value: 10 different forms of a gene are called. a. alleles b. homologues c. heterologues d. genotype value: 10 the building blocks form proteins are called __. a. monosacharrides b. fatty acids c. amino acids d. nucleic acids e. nucleotides f. glycerol

Explanation:

1. In the process of gene - expression, the conversion of mRNA into a sequence of amino acids is known as translation. Transfection is the introduction of foreign nucleic acids into cells. Transcription is the synthesis of RNA from DNA. Transgenetic refers to the presence of foreign genes in an organism. Transformation is the uptake of foreign DNA by bacteria.
2. Different forms of a gene are called alleles. Homologues are related genes from different species. Heterologues are non - homologous genes. Genotype refers to the genetic constitution of an organism.
3. Proteins are made up of amino acids. Monosaccharides are the building blocks of carbohydrates. Fatty acids are components of lipids. Nucleic acids include DNA and RNA. Nucleotides are the building blocks of nucleic acids. Glycerol is a component of triglycerides.

Answer:

1. c. Translation
2. a. alleles
3. c. amino acids
