Which monomer makes up a polypetide?

Amino acids are the basic monomer that forms polypeptides.


What amino acid always begin a polypetide during translation?

Formed by the sequence AUG, it forms the start codon methionine.


What are the two basic steps of polypetide synthesis?

The two basic steps of polypeptide synthesis are transcription and translation. During transcription, the DNA is transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA) in the nucleus. This mRNA then travels to the ribosome in the cytoplasm, where translation occurs, and the genetic code is used to assemble amino acids into a polypeptide chain, forming a protein.


How many amino acids are used in the synthesis of body protein?

They have varying numbers, as different amino acids form different polypetide chains, which form different amino acids in the way they become folded to suit their function


How is it that you have at least two genes for each trait?

I think there are two possibilities 1. A gene is the contiguious series of codons ,nothing but series of triplet codons. So as we know that an aminoacid coded by more than one codon(except Methionine and tryptophan) atleast two codon codes for each amino acids. So a trait that is in the sense of a polypeptide which made by joinig by series of aminoacids which may be coded by different codons. 2. Due to trans splicing as here two different genes are involved in synthesis of a single polypetide.


Do ribosomes store the information necessary to produce proteins?

No, ribosomes do not store the information necessary to produce proteins. They function by reading the information present in messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules and using it to synthesize proteins. The genetic information needed for protein synthesis is contained within the DNA of a cell.
