Where does protein-building begin? (Points : 3) on the cytoskeleton on an enzyme on the cell membrane on a DNA strand

Sagot :

Protein building begins with the DNA strand in the Ribosome. The DNA strand is essential to dictating the type of protein that is to be produced, based on the sequence of nucleic acids.

Answer:

The correct answer would be on a DNA strand

Protein building or synthesis take place in two steps:

Transcription: It is the process by which the nucleotide sequence of the DNA is decoded into the nucleotide sequence of mRNA. It takes place on the template strand of the DNA and is catalyzed by RNA polymerase.

Translation: It is the process by nucleotide sequence or codon sequence of the mRNA is deciphered into the amino acid sequence of the protein. It takes place at the ribosome in the cytoplasm. tRNA with its anti-codon site helps in deciphering the codon sequence of the mRNA.

Thus, the protein building begins on the DNA strand.
