Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The end result of amino acids joining together in translation is a ____
A
polysaccharide
B
protein
C
DNA
D
RNA
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -As tRNAs enter slots in the ribosome and bind to codons, their amino acids are linked to the growing polypeptide chain in a chemical reaction. The end result is a polypeptide whose amino acid sequence mirrors the sequence of codons in the mRNA.

Detailed explanation-2: -The amino acid sequence is the final result of translation, and is known as a polypeptide. Polypeptides can then undergo folding to become functional proteins. All enzymes are proteins, but not all proteins go on to become enzymes; some serve other functions.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hence, the end result of translation is an amino acid sequence or a polypeptide.

Detailed explanation-4: -During translation, these tRNAs carry amino acids to the ribosome and join with their complementary codons. Then, the assembled amino acids are joined together as the ribosome, with its resident rRNAs, moves along the mRNA molecule in a ratchet-like motion.

Detailed explanation-5: -Stop Codons Mark the End of Translation This reaction frees the carboxyl end of the growing polypeptide chain from its attachment to a tRNA molecule, and since only this attachment normally holds the growing polypeptide to the ribosome, the completed protein chain is immediately released into the cytoplasm.
