What happens during the process of translation?

A) Transfer RNA is made from messenger RNA B) Copies of DNA molecules are made
C) The cell uses information from messenger RNA to produce proteins D) Messenger RNA is made from DNA
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) The cell uses information from messenger RNA to produce proteins

Explanation:

Translation is the process by which a protein is synthesized from the information contained in a molecule of messenger RNA (mRNA). 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.

 

In short, during the process of translation source language text is conveyed to destination language.

Q:

Which of the following is true about veins?

A) Veins carry blood away from the heart, while arteries carry blood to the heart. B) Veins are more muscular than arteries.
C) Veins have valves; arteries do not. D) Veins have a smaller diameter lumen than arteries.
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Veins have valves; arteries do not.

Explanation:

Veins are blood vessels that carry blood toward the heart. Most veins carry deoxygenated blood from the tissues back to the heart; exceptions are the pulmonary and umbilical veins, both of which carry oxygenated blood to the heart. In contrast to veins, arteries carry blood away from the heart.

 

Veins are less muscular than arteries and are often closer to the skin. There are valves in most veins to prevent backflow.
