Concept explainers
a.
To determine:
The molecule that combines with protein to form ribosome.
Introduction:
Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is a
b.
To determine:
The molecule that carries the genetic information from the nucleus to the ribosome.
Introduction:
Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is a polymeric molecule, which contain information for protein production in the form of nucleotide. It is present in cell and regulates various roles during protein production such as coding, decoding and finally gene expression.
c.
To determine:
The molecule which carries amino acids to ribosome for protein synthesis.
Introduction:
Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is a polymeric molecule, which contain information for protein production in the form of nucleotide. It is present in cell and regulates various roles during protein production such as coding, decoding and finally gene expression.
