Protein Synthesis
Beginning of paper
is the process by which genetic information from the
DNA stored in the nucleus is transferred to the ribosomes where it is used to
arrange amino acids into proteins.
The DNA molecule in the nucleus is unzipped by an enzyme called
polymerase. From one of these single strands of a DNA molecule, a mR ....

.... connected to the next amino acid. The mRNA thus transverses the
ribosome with each three nitrogen base condon selecting an amino acid. This
continues until the ribosome encounters a stop condon. When this happens the
amino acid chain is released from the tRNA and is a protein.
This process allows for the genetic information stored in the DNA to be
expressed in the physical and functional makeup of the cell.
