The process in which the nucleic acid sequence information is changed into amino acid sequence is
|
|
replication
|
|
|
transcription
|
|
|
translation
|
|
|
breaking the code
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The nucleotide sequence of a gene, through the medium of mRNA, is translated into the amino acid sequence of a protein by rules that are known as the genetic code. This code was deciphered in the early 1960s. The sequence of nucleotides in the mRNA molecule is read consecutively in groups of three.
Detailed explanation-2: -The process of converting the mRNA ‘message’ into a sequence of amino acids is known as translation.
Detailed explanation-3: -During translation, an mRNA sequence is read using the genetic code, which is a set of rules that defines how an mRNA sequence is to be translated into the 20-letter code of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins.
