Question
### Understanding mRNA Translation #### Question: During the process of translation (protein synthesis), the mRNA strand is read _______________. #### Answer Choices: 1. From the middle towards both its 5' and 3' ends 2. In a random order 3. From its 5' end to its 3' end 4. From its 3' end to its 5' end ##### Explanation: In the process of translation, which is a crucial stage of protein synthesis, messenger RNA (mRNA) is read by the ribosome to assemble amino acids into a polypeptide chain. This reading process occurs from the 5' (five prime) end to the 3' (three prime) end of the mRNA strand. This directional reading ensures that the genetic code is interpreted correctly and consistently, translating the nucleotide sequence into the corresponding sequence of amino acids to form the desired protein. Understanding the directionality is key to comprehending how genetic information flows from DNA to functional proteins in biological systems.
