Question
Chapter 31, Problem 26P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Experimental strategy for switching off the translation of an mRNA without changing the gene sequence encoding the protein should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Messenger RNA (mRNA) is a type of RNA molecule, which transfers genetic information from DNA to the ribosome. The ribosome then read the mRNA chain and produce protein chain, which is termed as the genetic expression. The conversion of DNA to mRNA is termed as transcription, which occurs in the nucleus of the cell. Whereas, the process of gene expression of mRNA to protein (translation) occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell.

True or False. Explain.
A) At no time during protein synthesis does an amino acid make direct
contact with the mRNA being translated.
B) Because the two strands of DNA are complementary, the mRNA of a gene can be synthesized using either strand as a template.
