Which statement correctly describes the process of viral mRNA translation?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for the correct description of the process involved in the translation of viral mRNA. It presents multiple statements about where viral mRNAs are translated and where viral proteins are synthesized, seeking to identify which one accurately reflects scientific understanding of these processes.
Answer
Viral mRNA translation involves the ribosome translating the mRNA nucleotide sequence into an amino acid sequence.
The mRNA is translated by the ribosome, converting its nucleotide sequence into an amino acid sequence.
Answer for screen readers
The mRNA is translated by the ribosome, converting its nucleotide sequence into an amino acid sequence.
More Information
Translation of mRNA involves the decoding of its nucleotide sequence into a sequence of amino acids, resulting in the formation of a polypeptide chain or protein, and this process is carried out by the ribosome in the cytoplasm.
