In this chapter, we focused on the translation of mRNA into proteins as well as on protein structure and function. Along the way, we found many opportunities to consider the methods and reasoning by which much of this information was acquired. From the explanations in the chapter, what answers would you propose to the following fundamental questions: On what basis have we concluded that proteins are the end products of genetic expression?

Hey everyone, let's take a look at this question together, identify the end product of gene expression. So let's recall what we've learned about gene expression and what is involved in gene expression. To try to figure out what that end product is. So we know that when we're dealing with gene expression we have that D. N. A. Which is then transcribed into M. R. N. A. And this is done so by R. N. A. Deliberate and it's done during transcription. And so we take this M. R. N. A. And it actually leaves the nucleus and it enters the cytoplasm which once it enters that cytoplasm it is eventually translated into protein. And these proteins are that end product of gene expression which is answer choice D. The correct answer. Because we take that D. N. A. It is then transcribed into M. R. N. A. And that M. RNA leaves the nucleus, enters the cytoplasm and is then translated into proteins, which is then the end product of gene expression. So answer choice D. Is the correct answer. I hope you found this video to be helpful. Thank you and goodbye.
