Question
The following diagram represents the flow of genetic information from DNA to protein.A series of events begins with DNA with an arrow pointing to Pre mRNA and labeled step 1. Pre mRNA points to mRNA and is labeled step 2 and the mRNA points to protein and is labeled step 3.Which of the following describes an event that occurs during Step 3 in the diagram?Choose 1 answer:Choose 1 answer:(Choice A) tRNAs are used to add amino acids to a growing polypeptide chain.AtRNAs are used to add amino acids to a growing polypeptide chain.(Choice B) rRNAs are translated into proteins in the cytosol.BrRNAs are translated into proteins in the cytosol.(Choice C) mRNAs are processed to contain only certain exons.CmRNAs are processed to contain only certain exons.(Choice D) mRNAs are produced by RNA polymerase using a template molecule.DmRNAs are produced by RNA polymerase using a template molecule.
Solution
The correct answer is (Choice A) tRNAs are used to add amino acids to a growing polypeptide chain. This process is known as translation, which is the step 3 in the flow of genetic information from DNA to protein. During this step, the mRNA is read by the ribosome and the tRNA brings the corresponding amino acid to add to the growing polypeptide chain.
