Discuss/diagram the process from gene to protein. In other words, how do we build a protein based on a sequence of DNA?
DNA to RNA to protein
The sequence of DNA is used, through a process involving the different types of RNA, into amino acids to produce the proteins. The sequence is what determines the amino acids used, and thus an incorrect sequence will build a different protein.
Quaternary tertiary secondary primary is the sequence.
It is first transferred to an mRNA molecule through a process called transcription. The mRNA is then processed, and the information on the processed mRNA is transferred to the amino acid sequence of a protein through a process called translation.
A gene is a DNA sequence that codes for a protein.
DNA to RNA to protein
protein synthesis
The intermediate molecule formed between DNA and protein is mRNA (messenger RNA). The process in which the DNA sequence is copied to an RNA sequence is called transcription. The process in which the mRNA template is read to produce protein is called translation (protein synthesis)
RNA does not become protein. Messenger RNA transcribes the DNA code and carries it to a ribosome where it is translated by transfer RNA into a sequence of amino acids that will make a protein. The entire process is called protein synthesis.
Protein synthesis. The question is a bit misleading. DNA doesn't change into a protein, but it transcribes a messenger RNA which translates for a particular polypeptide sequence. DNA itself is unchanged throughout the process.
DNA determines the sequence of the amino acids (building blocks) in a protein. The sequence of nitrogen bases in the DNA determines the sequence of amino acids in a protein.
Yes, DNA carries the instructions for the correct sequence of nucleic acids in a protein. These instructions are encoded in the DNA molecule as a specific sequence of nucleotide bases (adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine). Through a process called transcription, the DNA sequence is transcribed into a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule, which is then translated into a specific sequence of amino acids to form a protein.

there is no "protein in a prion", because prion is nothing but a protein. The gene sequence of this protein is just normal, with nothing special.
The sequence of amino acids in a protein is determined by the sequence of nucleotides in the mRNA, and this is determined by the sequence of nucleotide bases in the DNA.
In genetics, translation is the process in which the sequence of codons on a mRNA molecule are translated into a sequence of amino acids by tRNA, which results in a protein. This process occurs on ribosomes in the cytoplasm and the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
