(a)
Interpretation:
The factor units involved in the process of transcription are to be stated.
Concept Introduction:
The term DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid. Deoxyribonucleic acid is the most important
(b)
Interpretation:
The factor units involved in the process of translation are to be stated.
Concept Introduction:
The term RNA is stand for the ribonucleic acid. Ribonucleic acid is a type of biomolecule present inside the cell of living organism. The function of RNA is to synthesize protein by the process of translation.
