Consider a build-at-home bookshelf that comes with instructions and various pieces of wood as an analogy for translation. In this analogy, what would best match the job of the ribosome?

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are: the pieces of wood the bookshelf the instructions the person building the bookshelf

Answer:

The person building the bookshelf

Explanation:

The process of translation forms the proteins by translating the codons present on the mRNA to the amino acids. The process takes place in an organelle called a ribosome.

In the following question, the pieces of wood represent the amino acids and the bookshelf represents the amino acid. The role of the ribosome which joins the different amino acids via the peptide bond is taken by the person who builds the bookshelf or the protein.

Thus, the selected option is the correct answer.
