The genetic code for a particular protein is copied from the DNA template to a strand of messanger RNA (mRNA). The message is written 'in reverse' due to complementary base pair boding and is 'reversed' again during translation back to the original base code.

How is protein synthesis different in prokaryotes and eukaryote?
In prokaryotes, transcription and translation happen at the same time. -APEX Learning®️ 2021
Where and why does protein synthesis happen?
Protein synthesis occurs in the ribosomes of a cell. This process is essential for building proteins, which are needed for various functions in the body, such as growth, repair, and regulation of body processes.
What process is the first step in making a protein from DNA instructions?
The first step in creating a protein is transcription - the copying of the code from DNA to mRNA. (The section of DNA must unwind before this can happen).
Where does protein synthesis happen faster?
Protein synthesis happens faster in prokaryotic cells, specifically in the cytoplasm where all the components necessary for translation are readily available. In eukaryotic cells, protein synthesis occurs in the cytoplasm as well, but the process is generally slower due to the additional steps and compartmentalization involved.
When does ranslation happen?
Translation is the process where mRNA is decoded by ribosomes to produce a specific protein. It occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell after transcription has taken place in the nucleus of the cell.
What would happen to the cell membrane if ribosomes are not working?
There would be no protein synthesis.
What process are you engaging in when you ask yourself What would happen if?
Synthesis
Where proteins are processed and packaged?
Proteins are produced in all cells by protein synthesis. It requires the mRNA molecule produced from DNA in nucleus. Once it is transported to cytoplasm, ribosomes and tRNA molecules and enzymes will carry out protein synthesis.
Transcription and translation can occur simultaneously in bacteria because?
bacteria have a simpler cellular structure compared to eukaryotes, allowing for transcription and translation to happen simultaneously in their cytoplasm. The lack of nuclear membrane in bacteria means that mRNA can be translated by ribosomes as it is being transcribed by RNA polymerase, leading to rapid protein synthesis.
What would happen if a gene is changed or mutated?
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) transcription occurs at a rate of around 1000x per second alone in a single-cell. Errors in these processes are typically checked and corrected by special enzymes. However errors in DNA transcription can result in protein synthesis with deleted amino acids which at best can be harmless. At worst, the deletion (or defective synthesis) of proteins can create fatal cancers through localized cell mutations.
Why is protein synthesis different in prokaryotes and eukaryotes?
In prokaryotes, DNA is stored in the cytoplasm. also prokaryotes have no nucleus In prokaryotes, transcription and translation happen at the same time.
What happens in the cell before protein production can happen the steps in protein synthesis where the finished proteins can go and what those finished proteins can do for the cell).?
Before protein production can occur, the cell undergoes transcription, where DNA is transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA) in the nucleus. This mRNA then travels to the ribosome in the cytoplasm, where it is translated into a protein during the process of translation. Once synthesized, proteins can be directed to various locations within the cell, including the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, or exported outside the cell. These finished proteins perform essential functions, such as catalyzing metabolic reactions, providing structural support, and facilitating cell signaling and communication.
