Because nucleic acid sequence information is changed into amino acid sequence information,polypeptide synthesis is known as
A)breaking the code.
B)decoding.
C)transcription.
D)translocation.
E)translation.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Polypeptide synthesis involves the process of translating nucleic acid sequence information (mRNA) into amino acid sequence information to form a polypeptide chain. This process is known as translation. Breaking the code and decoding also refer to the same process of translating nucleic acid sequence information into amino acid sequence information. However, transcription refers to the process of copying DNA sequence information into mRNA, and translocation refers to the movement of molecules across a cellular membrane.
