The image depicts the process of protein synthesis within a cell, highlighting the roles of DNA, mRNA, and ribosomes.1. **Diagram of Cellular Processes**: - At the top, there is a representation of the cell nucleus containing DNA. The DNA undergoes a process called mRNA transcription, resulting in mature mRNA. - The mature mRNA is then transported to the cytoplasm for protein synthesis, also known as translation. - In the cytoplasm, ribosomes are depicted interacting with mRNA and tRNA to assemble amino acids into proteins.2. **Text Explanation**: - The text below the diagram asks the reader to explain how DNA is used to make proteins. It presents a multiple-choice question with options: - **A)** During translation, the genetic code in mRNA is read and used to put amino acids in place to make a protein. - **B)** During transcription, the genetic code in mRNA is read and used to put nucleotides in place to make a protein.The correct understanding involves recognizing transcription as the process of synthesizing mRNA from DNA, and translation as the process of synthesizing proteins using the genetic code on mRNA. ### Understanding Genetic Code Processes- **A) Translation Process** During translation, the genetic code in messenger RNA (mRNA) is read and used to arrange amino acids in place to synthesize a protein.- **B) Transcription Error** During transcription, the genetic code in mRNA is not read to place nucleotides, as this is the process where DNA is the template for mRNA synthesis.- **C) Role of DNA** DNA contains all of the instructions an organism needs to live. Contrary to the statement, DNA does not travel to the ribosome. Instead, mRNA, transcribed from DNA, travels to the ribosome where its code is read to make proteins.- **D) The Transcription Process** During transcription, DNA serves as a template to create a molecule of mRNA. This mRNA then exits the nucleus and moves to a ribosome in the cytoplasm for protein synthesis.- **E) Importance of DNA Sequences** DNA contains all of the instructions an organism needs to live. DNA sequences must be translated into messages that can be utilized to produce proteins, which perform most of the functions in our bodies.
