4. in transcription, the ______ is made first. In translation, the_______ is made first. (check the right ones for each box)
a. C terminus of protein
b. 3' end of protein
c. 5' end of protein
d. N terminus of protein
Answer- In transcription, the 5' end of RNA is made first. In translation, the C terminus of protein is made first.
EXPLANATION-
Transcription is the process of synthesis of RNA by using DNA as a template and this process is carried out by RNA polymerase.
The process of transcription (synthesis of RNA) occurs in 5' to 3' direction.
Translation is the process of synthesis of protein by using information encoded in mRNA. During elongation phase of translation (when more amino acids are added to increase the length of polypeptide) the incoming amino acids binds with the N terminal end of existing amino acids and therefore C terminus of protein is made first.
