Part A

Which of the following molecules is/are produced by translation? Include molecules that are subject to further modification after initial synthesis.
Select all that apply.

The amino acid glycine
Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase
RNA polymerase

1 answer

In the context of translation, the primary output is the synthesis of proteins. Given the options provided, let’s analyze each one:

  1. The amino acid glycine: Glycine is an amino acid that can be incorporated into proteins during translation, but it is not produced by translation itself. It is a building block that exists before the process.

  2. Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase: This is an enzyme that charges tRNA molecules with their corresponding amino acids. It is not produced by translation but rather is involved in the aminoacylation process prior to translation.

  3. RNA polymerase: This enzyme is responsible for synthesizing RNA from a DNA template during transcription, not translation.

Based on this analysis, none of the provided options are molecules produced by translation. Therefore, the answer is that none of the given options are correct in the context of molecules produced by translation.
