Question 3 of 10 How does translation form proteins? A. Peptide bonds connect amino acids. B. DNA forms a bond with RNA. C. Codons link to other codons. D. Nucleic acids bond with amino acids.

## Step 1<br />The process of protein synthesis involves two main steps: transcription and translation. During transcription, the DNA sequence is copied into mRNA (messenger RNA). This mRNA then moves to the ribosomes where translation occurs.<br /><br />## Step 2<br />During translation, the mRNA sequence is read by the ribosome, and amino acids are assembled into a polypeptide chain. This is done by matching the mRNA's codons (a sequence of three nucleotides) with the corresponding amino acids.<br /><br />## Step 3<br />The peptide bonds are formed between the amino acids, creating a chain of amino acids. This chain then folds into a specific shape to form a protein.<br /><br />## Step 4<br />Option A, "Peptide bonds connect amino acids," is the correct answer because it accurately describes the process of protein synthesis. The other options do not accurately describe the process of protein synthesis.
