The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Translation**: Translation is a biological process where the information encoded in messenger RNA (mRNA) is used to synthesize proteins. 2. **Identifying the Components**: In this process, the key components involved are: - **mRNA**: This is the RNA that carries the genetic information from DNA. - **Amino Acids**: These are the building blocks of proteins. 3. **Process of Translation**: - The mRNA, which is transcribed from DNA, serves as a template. - Ribosomes read the sequence of the mRNA in sets of three nucleotides (codons). - Each codon corresponds to a specific amino acid. - Transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules bring the appropriate amino acids to the ribosome. - The ribosome then links these amino acids together in the order specified by the mRNA, forming a polypeptide chain. 4. **Final Outcome**: The end product of translation is a protein, which is a chain of amino acids folded into a functional structure. 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, translation is the synthesis of proteins from RNA. **Answer**: Translation is the synthesis of protein over RNA. ---

An antibiotic, which inhibits translation in eukaryotes is

Many antibiotics inhibit prokaryotic translation without disrupting protein synthesis of the host cell. These antibiotics work via all of the following mechanisms EXCEPT

The gene 'rop' present in pBR322 cloning vector, codes for 1) the proteins involved in the translation 2) the proteins involved in the replication of the plasmid 3) the proteins involved in the synthesis of ampicillin only 4) the proteins involved in the synthesis of tetracycline only

Assertion (A) : Replication and transcription occur in the nucleus but translation occurs in the cytoplasm. Reason (R ) : m-RNA is transferred from the nucleus into the cytoplasm where ribosomes and amino acids are available for protein synthesis.

Translation refers to the process of -
