Question

I need help with a biology activity that I need to do for PLATO, and I have no clue where to start. The activity is as follows:

1. For this task, you will imagine that you are a reporter for a scientific magazine. Your task is to explain the process of protein synthesis to someone who does NOT have a science background. Therefore, the explanation needs to be in simple enough terms for anyone to understand.

2. You will organize your article in the following way:
a. Structure and Function of DNA and RNA
b. Transcription and RNA processing
c. Translation
d. Protein modification

Answer 1

3. You must also include the following terms:

- Double helix
- Helicase
- Codon
- Polymerase
- 5’ cap
- Poly (A) tail
- Introns
- Exons

- Splicesomes
- rRNA, tRNA, mRNA
- Ribosomes
- Anticodons
- E site, P site, A site
- Initiation
- Elongation
- Termination
