Hi everyone here's our next problem. It says the synthesis of blank from M RNA is called blank and occurs in the blank of the cell. So let's go through one x one are different blanks here. We have the synthesis of blank from M. R. N. A. And when you start with M R. N. A, you go to protein. Protein is synthesized from an M. RNA template. So let's go through our answer choices and eliminate anything that doesn't have protein as a first choice. So choice A has A D. N. A. First. So that's incorrect. Choice C. Has D. N. A. First. So that's incorrect. We're left with B and D. So let's look down at the next blank spot here. The synthesis of I mean it's protein from M. RNA is called and that process is translation. So again, let's go through our answer choices and look for the one that says translation. Uh looking between B and D. Well, B and D both have translation in the middle so we can't eliminate either one just yet. So let's go to our final space and we have translation and occurs in the blank of the cell while translation occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell. So let's look back at our answer choices. And we see that while choice B has nucleus as the last choice choice D has cytoplasm. So choice D has the three correct terms for the three blank spots protein, translation and cytoplasm. So our sentence will read the synthesis of protein from M R N. A is called translation and occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell. See you in the next video.
