In protein synthesis, the polymerisation of amino acids involves three steps. Which one of the following is not involved in the polymerization of protein?
Correct answer: D. Transcription
- A. Termination
- B. Initiation
- C. Elongation
- D. Transcription
Explanation
Transcription is the mechanism of copying the message of DNA into RNA with the help of the enzyme RNA polymerase. It is meant for taking the coded information from DNA to the site where it is required for protein synthesis. Translation or protein synthesis is a complicated process involving several steps: the activation of amino acids, the transfer of amino acids to tRNA, initiation of polypeptide synthesis, elongation of the polypeptide chain, and the termination of the polypeptide chain.

About Chromosomes
Chromosomes are DNA-protein structures that carry genes and become visible during cell division. Coverage includes chromatin, centromeres, sister chromatids, homologous chromosomes, chromosome number, and the distinction between diploid and haploid cells, with links to DNA replication, mitosis and meiosis.
