1. Transcription - The process by which DNA is transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA) in the nucleus.
2. mRNA - The messenger RNA carries the genetic information from the DNA to the ribosome.
3. Translation - The process by which the mRNA is translated by ribosomes to synthesize proteins.
4. Ribosome - The organelle responsible for protein synthesis by linking amino acids together based on the mRNA template.
5. Amino Acids - The building blocks of proteins that are brought to the ribosome by transfer RNA (tRNA).
6. tRNA - Transfer RNA molecules bring specific amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis.
DNA has an important role in making proteins, the biomolecules that help determine our traits as well as take part in chemical reactions throughout our bodies. Can you correctly label the steps/parts involved in protein synthesis? Nucleus RibosomemRNA Transcription Translation Amino Acids IRNA
