The correct Answer is:
To answer the question regarding the process of polymerization of amino acids to form a polypeptide, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks about the process that leads to the formation of a polypeptide from amino acids. 2. **Identifying the Options**: The options provided are transcription, translation, replication, and duplication. 3. **Defining Each Process**: - **Transcription**: This is the process where RNA is synthesized from a DNA template. It does not involve amino acids directly. - **Translation**: This is the process where the sequence of mRNA is used to assemble amino acids into a polypeptide chain, effectively polymerizing amino acids to form proteins. - **Replication**: This refers to the process of copying DNA to produce two identical DNA molecules. It does not involve amino acids. - **Duplication**: This generally refers to the process of making copies of genes or regions of chromosomes, often related to mutations, and does not pertain to the formation of polypeptides. 4. **Selecting the Correct Answer**: Since the question specifically asks about the polymerization of amino acids into a polypeptide, the correct process is **translation**. 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the correct answer to the question is **translation**.
