During translation, the type of amino acid that is added to the growing polypeptide depends on the

a. codon on the mrna and the anticodon on the rrna.
b. anticodon on the mrna and the anticodon on the trna.
c. anticodon on the rrna and the codon on the mrna.
d. codon on the mrna and the anticodon on the trna

The correct answer for the fill in the blank is D. codon on the mRNA and the anticodon on the tRNA.

mRNA ( messenger RNA) carries information for the synthesis of proteins in the form of codon ( a sequence of 3 nucleotides that code for a particular amino acid). It is translated at the site called ribosomes.

During this process, tRNA ( transfer RNA) carries amino acid corresponding to the codon in the mRNA and it also carries three nucleotides in its anticodon region, which pairs with the complementary sequence in the mRNA.

ans.

dna fingerprinting is defined as a process that determines the dna characteristics of an individual. these dna characteristics are unique among individuals as their fingerprints, so it is known as dna fingerprinting.

steps of dna fingerprinting includes extraction of dna from sample, amplification of dna, restriction digestion of amplified dna, and then analysis of dna by gel electrophoresis, respectively.

thus, the next step performed by the scientist is 'to cut the amplified dna (obtained by polymerase chain reaction) by restriction enzymes that cleave the dna into fragments and their analysis.'
