Question

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 1

Any help will be greatly appreciated:)

Answer 2

hold up a sec i working on it ok ;)

Answer 3

Thank you soo muchh

Answer 4

I'll try to steer you in the right direction: have a look at these sites and see if it helps explain the different processes:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_dogma_of_molecular_biology

There's a video on YouTube which might be helpful too:

If this one doesn't explain it clearly then there will be another one dealing with the central dogma on the same site. Best wishes and if you have any specific questions post them and I'll get back to you.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. hope this helps
