Question

I need help with a small part of my essay.

Answer 1

For this assignment, you will write an essay describing the production of protein molecules through transcription and translation. Your essay should include discussions of the following:

DNA
mRNA
RNA polymerase
base pairing
transcription
translation
tRNA
rRNA
ribosomes
amino acids
protein

Answer 2

I have gotten into the third paragraph and going in order I am making it the base pairing paragraph I really don't know how to make a paragraph out of this, its a quite simple concept. Really I need help with english but if someone knows the concept themselves maybe they can help.

Answer 3

I will sum this up with I don't want anyone to write the whole thing by any means but possibly help me with the structure for my paragraph.

Answer 4

Transcription is the process involving RNA polymerase, where that enzyme transcribes the template DNA to produce the mRNA.

Translation is the process where a ribosome reads the mRNA and uses amino acids to synthesize a peptide or protein.

Answer 5

DNA has the information to encode a protein but mRNA (messenger RNA) is the "go-between". Base pairing is the way that the nucleotides bind together in a helix so either between two strands of a DNA helix or between codons in mRNA and anticodons in tRNA which specify which amino acid should go in (see below)
What is known as the "central dogma of molecular biology" can be simply stated as DNA makes RNA makes protein.
The process of making mRNA is known as transcription. The enzyme that makes mRNA is called RNA polymerase and uses DNA as a template. (The DNA strand that looks like the RNA is known as the "coding strand").
Translation is making protein using the information in mRNA. Starting at the initiation codon amino acids are joined together at the ribosome depending on the triplet of nucleotides in the mRNA at that point. Each of the amino acids are present at the ribosome along with a transfer RNA tRNA.

Answer 6

Please award me a medal

Answer 7

Sorry but I'm not awarding a medal for that, I feel you didn't even read what I typed above and in what I typed I was specifically asking about base pairs. Though you would have done a good job at just giving someone all the answers you did not help me.

Answer 8

Base pairs are pairs of nucleotides joined with a hydrogen bond found in DNA and RNA. This genetic material is typically double-stranded, with a structure which resembles a ladder, and each set of base pairs making up a single rung of the ladder. Base pairs have a number of interesting properties which make them topics of interest, and understanding how base pairs work is important to many geneticists.




The nucleotides which make up DNA are adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G). In RNA, the thymine is replaced with uracil (U). Together, these small chemical compounds make up the genetic code of an organism, with their arrangement coding for the production of a number of proteins. Adenine can only bond with thymine, and cystosine can only bond with guanine. This means, for example, that when a strand of DNA is examined, if there's a A on one end of a rung, a T must be on the other.




Adenine and guanine are both types of molecules known as purines, while thymine and cytosine are pyrimidines. Purines are larger, with a structure which prohibits two of them from fitting on one rung of the ladder, while pyrimidines are too small. This means that adenine cannot become a base pair with guanine, and thymine cannot be in a base pair with cytosine.

Answer 9

I did this essay and got a 100% on it

Answer 10

it's with flvs

Answer 11

I am fully aware of what it is for but that is not the correct way to help someone, if I didn't already know what base pairing was then I still wouldn't because you threw a wall of text at me. If you read above I was asking someone to help me structure the paragraph on base pairing, I put it in the biology section because it is a biology topic. I was however not asking for complete copy of a wiki page or whatever you copied that from.
