Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The chain of amino acids that are translated using a codon chart creates:
A
Phosphate
B
Protein
C
Sugar
D
Base
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Each codon attaches to an anticodon of transfer RNA (tRNA), which brings the correct amino acids. The ribosome then attaches the amino acids together in a growing polypeptide chain to form a protein. The genetic code can be read using a codon chart.

Detailed explanation-2: -The mRNA is then pulled through the ribosome; as its codons encounter the ribosome’s active site, the mRNA nucleotide sequence is translated into an amino acid sequence using the tRNAs as adaptors to add each amino acid in the correct sequence to the end of the growing polypeptide chain.

Detailed explanation-3: -A codon table can be used to translate a genetic code into a sequence of amino acids. The standard genetic code is traditionally represented as an RNA codon table, because when proteins are made in a cell by ribosomes, it is messenger RNA (mRNA) that directs protein synthesis.
