The process of translation creates the secondary structure of a polypeptide.
The process of translation creates the primary structure of a polypeptide.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The primary structure of a polypeptide is determined by the sequence of amino acids, which is specified by the DNA sequence in the gene. Translation is the process by which the sequence of bases in mRNA is decoded to produce a polypeptide, but it does not create the primary structure itself. The folding and interaction of the amino acid chain during and after translation will create the secondary and tertiary structure of the protein.
