How many codons encode the initiation of translation in triplet combinations?

1

Order the following steps in the correct sequence of influenza virus infection:1. Influenza viruses becomes attached to a target epithelial cell.2. Viral contents are released. Viral RNA enters the nucleus where it is replicated by the viral RNA polymerase.3. The cell engulfs the virus by endocytosis.4. New viral particles are made and released into the extracellular fluid. The cell, which is not killed in the process, continues to make a new virus.5. Viral mRNA is used to make viral proteins.

What are the ways in which a virus may hijack a cell or even kill a cell

The host cell releases the new virions. Sometimes they kill the host cells, and sometimes the host cells stay alive, continuing to produce more of the virus. The virus either injects its viral genetic material or is completely engulfed by the cell so that the genetic material is released from the virus in the cell. The virus uses the host cell's machinery and materials to replicate the viral genetic material and synthesize viral protein.

In the translation process, different types of RNA have different functions. The individual codons are interpreted by tRNA molecules. What is the function of mRNA in the translation process?

The mRNA contains an RNA version of the DNA code and moves the copy from the nucleus to the sites of protein synthesis in the cytoplasm (the ribosomes).
