What process of the ribosome refers to the synthesis of protein from a matured mRNA transcript?

The monomer of proteins are amino acids which consist of an amine group, a carboxylic acid group, and a side chain that varies between different amino acids. What term refers to amino acids of the general formula RCH(NH₂)COOH that behaves as amines in some reactions and as carboxylic acids in other?

An amino acid is composed from a three-nucleotide base sequences called codons. Given that there are 4 nucleotide bases, i.e. guanine, cytosine, uracil, and adenine, how many combinations of these nucleotide bases are possible?

Degeneracy refers to the redundancy within the genetic code, i.e. many amino acids have more than one codon that encode for that specific amino acid. The 64 combinations possible for amino acids only codes for how many specific amino acids?

Degeneracy usually happens at the third position of the codon. What term is used to identify this position of the codon?

Out of these 20 amino acids, how many are essential amino acids?

Proteins are composed of monomeric units called amino acids. What bond joins amino acids together?

Aside from peptide bond, name one type of bond present in a protein.

There are four levels of protein structural organization. If a protein has a more than one polypeptide subunits but do not have covalent interaction between the subunits, what level of protein structure it can be classified?
