SaveGive the two types of molecule from which a ribosome is made.
Describe the role of a ribosome in the production of a polypeptide. Do not include transcription in your answer.
Table 1 shows the base sequence of part of a pre-mRNA molecule from a eukaryotic cell.
Complete the table with the base sequence of the DNA strand from which this pre-mRNA was transcribed.
In a eukaryotic cell, the base sequence of the mRNA might be different from the sequence of the pre-mRNA.
Explain why.
