Question
There are 9 essential amino acids that mammals cannot make and therefore must be consumed in their diet.
Which of the following statements is the BEST explanation to the question: What process would be difficult to complete if there are not enough of the essential amino acids in the diet and why?
A.
Transcription because the mRNA will not be able to be synthesized due to the lack of amino acids.
B.
Translation because the mRNA will not be able to be synthesized due to the lack of amino acids.
C.
Transcription because the tRNA will not have enough of the correct amino acids to use.
D.
Translation because the tRNA will not have enough of the correct amino acids to use.

The best explanation to the question is:
**D. Translation because the tRNA will not have enough of the correct amino acids to use.**
**Explanation:** Translation is the process by which ribosomes synthesize proteins based on the sequence of mRNA. tRNA (transfer RNA) molecules are responsible for bringing the correct amino acids to the ribosome as the mRNA is read. If there are not enough essential amino acids in the diet, tRNA will not be able to carry the necessary amino acids for building proteins, which makes translation difficult or even impossible. Transcription, on the other hand, is the process of synthesizing mRNA from DNA, and it doesn't directly depend on the availability of amino acids.
