Protein Synthesis

The assembling of new molecules, especially polymers.

Assembling proteins via instructions from DNA.

A single strand of nucleotides made by DNA that is used to communicate genetic code outside the nucleus.

DNA makes RNA → RNA makes proteins →

Proteins make life.

Double stranded DNA is unzipped, and one strand is used as a template to form Messenger RNA.

Messenger RNA travels out of the nucleus to ribosomes

and is used as a template to assemble a protein.

A single strand of nucleotides coded by DNA

which travels to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm to give instructionsfor building proteins.

A small section of RNA that transports amino acids

to the ribosome for synthesis into proteins.

A nucleotide base that takes the place of Thymine in RNA.

The enzyme that codes mRNA from DNA instructions.
