Summarize the process by which the DNA code is made into a protein.
Answer (2)
The DNA undergoes two simplified process I becoming a protein; transcription and translation. Transcription involves the production of a complimentary mRNA strand in the nucleus. The double stranded DNA unzips enzymatically, next DNA polymerase binds to the unzipped DNA and binds complementary nucleotides from the 3' end to the 5' end. This newly formed mRNA strand then moves out of the nucleus where it binds with a ribosome, here complimentary tRNA molecules bind to the mRNA strand thus forming a primary structure protein.
The DNA code is converted into protein through two main processes: transcription, where mRNA is synthesized from DNA in the nucleus, and translation, where ribosomes read the mRNA to assemble amino acids into a protein. These steps ensure that the genetic information is accurately translated into functional proteins. Understanding these processes is crucial for studying how genes express traits in organisms.
