DNA carries the cell’s genetic information; however, it cannot leave the nucleus.

Question

Because of this, it copies part of its nucleotide sequence into a complementary copy of

during the process called .

During this process, the enzyme,

separates the DNA strands.

One strand of DNA acts as the

from which nucleotides are assembled into a strand of RNA.

Each three letter sequence on the mRNA is called a .

The start codon is and the three stop codons are .

Once the mRNA leaves the nucleus, it goes to the to prepare for protein

synthesis, which is called .

During this process, a molecule brings the to the ribosome.

The amino acids are hooked together by bonds.

Answer 1

DNA carries the cell’s genetic information; however, it cannot leave the nucleus.

Because of this, it copies part of its nucleotide sequence into a complementary copy of RNA during the process called transcription.

During this process, the enzyme, RNA polymerase, separates the DNA strands.

One strand of DNA acts as the template strand from which nucleotides are assembled into a strand of RNA.

Each three-letter sequence on the mRNA is called a codon.

The start codon is AUG, and the three stop codons are UAA, UAG, and UGA.

Once the mRNA leaves the nucleus, it goes to the ribosome to prepare for protein synthesis, which is called translation.

During this process, a tRNA (transfer RNA) molecule brings the amino acids to the ribosome.

The amino acids are hooked together by peptide bonds.
