Using the codon chart, what is the sequence of amino acids that is produced when this RNA is translated?

In transcription, the DNA sequence of a gene is "rewritten" in RNA. In eukaryotes, the RNA must go through additional processing steps to become a messenger RNA or mRNA. In translation, the sequence of nucleotides in the mRNA is "translated" into a sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide (protein chain).

Translation starts at a methionine (Met) codon, which specifies the amino acid methionine (Met). Translation stops at a Stop codon, which does not specify an amino acid.

Translation of an mRNA molecule by the ribosome occurs in three stages: a. initiation

b. elongation

c. termination.

During initiation, the small ribosomal subunit binds to the start of the mRNA sequence.

Translation happens in four stages: activation (make-ready), initiation (start), elongation (make longer), and termination (stop). These terms describe the growth of the amino acid chain (polypeptide).

Explanation:

cellular respiration oxidizes food into energy in the form of atps.

glycolysis (6 c hexose) > 2x atps are used > 6c hexose biphosphate > 2 x 3c triphosphate >

2 x 3c pyruvate (2x nadh produced from nad) and (4x atp produced)

pyruvate actively pumped mitochondrial matrix.
