• 🧬 DNA in cells, primarily in nucleus. Some DNA codes for active proteins. RNA plays a huge role in protein synthesis. Two major steps: transcription and translation.
• 🔬 DNA is present in all cells, primarily in the nucleus, Some DNA codes for active proteins, while some is noncoding or not activated, RNA, a nucleic acid like DNA, plays a huge role in protein synthesis, Protein synthesis involves two major steps: transcription and translation
• 🔍 DNA is transcribed into mRNA in the nucleus using RNA polymerase. The mRNA is then edited and sent out of the nucleus to be translated into protein by ribosomes in the cytoplasm.
• 📝 Transcription occurs in the nucleus, where RNA polymerase connects complementary RNA bases to the DNA to form mRNA., mRNA undergoes significant editing before leaving the nucleus., mRNA exits the nucleus and attaches to ribosomes in the cytoplasm for translation into protein., Ribosomes, made of rRNA, are responsible for protein synthesis in the process of translation.
• 📌 tRNA carries amino acids to build proteins based on instructions from mRNA through complementary base pairing and codons.
• 🧩 tRNA carries amino acids for protein synthesis, mRNA directs tRNA to bring specific amino acids based on complementary bases, tRNA reads mRNA bases in triplets called codons, Specific tRNA with complementary anticodon carries a specific amino acid
• 🔄 A tRNA with UAC anticodon pairs with AUG codon, transferring methionine. Codon charts help determine amino acids coded by mRNA codons. Multiple codons can code for the same amino acid.
• 🔀 tRNA with UAC anticodon pairs with AUG codon, transferring methionine, Codon charts help determine amino acids coded by mRNA codons, Multiple codons can code for the same amino acid
• 🛠️ The process of translation involves the matching of mRNA codons with tRNA anticodons to build a chain of amino acids, guided by the DNA. Protein folding, modification, and transport are important for the protein's structure and function.

Q&A

• What is the process of translation in protein synthesis?

  Translation involves matching mRNA codons with tRNA anticodons to build a chain of amino acids, guided by the DNA, followed by protein folding, modification, and transport to attain the protein's ultimate structure and function.

• How do codon charts contribute to protein synthesis?

  Codon charts help determine the amino acids coded by mRNA codons, and they show that multiple codons can code for the same amino acid.

• What is the role of tRNA in protein synthesis?

  tRNA carries specific amino acids to the ribosomes based on the instructions from mRNA through complementary base pairing and codons, facilitating the construction of proteins.

• How does mRNA contribute to protein synthesis?

  mRNA is transcribed from DNA in the nucleus, undergoes editing, and then carries the genetic information to ribosomes in the cytoplasm for protein synthesis.

• What are the two major steps in protein synthesis?

  Protein synthesis involves transcription in the nucleus, where mRNA is synthesized from DNA, followed by translation in the cytoplasm, where proteins are built based on the mRNA instructions.
