The information from messenger RNA is used to create polypeptide sequences during the process of
A) transduction.
B) transcription.
C) transformation.
D) translation.
E) transreification.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The process that uses messenger RNA (mRNA) to create polypeptide sequences is called translation. During translation, the mRNA is read by ribosomes, which use the information to assemble a chain of amino acids in a specific order. This process results in the creation of a polypeptide chain, which can then fold into a functional protein. Other answer choices (transduction, transcription, transformation, and transreification) do not involve the use of mRNA for creating polypeptide sequences.
