Summary Introduction

To determine: The ways by which mRNAs are stored in a translationally inactive state.

Introduction: Translation is the process of protein biosynthesis. The genetic code carried by mRNA is decoded to produce the specific sequence of amino acids, which further form a polypeptide chain.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The ways by which translation of stored mRNAs can be stimulated.

Introduction: mRNA is a type of RNA molecule that transfers the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome. The ribosome is the site of protein synthesis. Therefore, a chain of the polypeptide is formed on the ribosome.
