Q29 - Protein synthesis
Pinned
The correct answer is B) leads to the synthesis of polypeptide chains from mRNA.
Translation builds a polypeptide from the mRNA. In eukaryotes it happens on ribosomes in the cytoplasm, not in the nucleus (A), and all cells do it, prokaryotes included (D). Making RNA from DNA (E) is transcription.
