Amino Acids Dna Molecule
245 words
Protein Synthesis Protein synthesis 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 mRNA
molecule is built. This is accomplished by an
enzyme which travels along a portion of DNA
between two exons and attaches the opposing base
pairs to the backbone of...
