There is no known enzyme that can recognize codons on a double-strand DNA molecule and translate it to a protein amino acid sequence. In English, the DNA is A) To big to leave the nucleus B) Speaks english, while the protein makers speak spanish. So DNA gets RNA to translate its code, and messenger RNA sends the code to the Ribosome, and the transfer RNA gets the code, translates its codons into amino acids, gets the amino acids and brings them to the ribosome. The ribosomal RNA then makes peptide bonds between the acids and Voila! A protein is made.

∙ 14y agoDNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is a molecule of heredity that stores information in the sequence of its subunit molecules called nucleotides. The sequence of these bases, like binary code for a computer, store information that codes for proteins on our bodies.
Segments of DNA are called genes, and code for one protein. These segments of DNA are copied into another nucleic acid molecule called mRNA in a process known as transcription. mRNA is a single stranded molecules that is able to leave the nucleus and travel into the cytoplasm.
In the cytoplasm, a ribosome is formed around the mRNA molecule. During translation, the mRNA molecule is read every three letters, which are called codons and stand for one amino acid. tRNA molecules carry amino acids and attach to specific three-base codons. The chain of amino acids is formed by peptide bonds between amino acids on subsequent codons.
Eventually, a protein chain is created based on the information that was stored in the sequence of nucleotides in the original DNA.
SHORT ANSWER: DNA does not leave the nucleus, but the mRNA molecule makes a copy of the DNA sequence and is able to take that out of the nucleus to a ribosome to make a protein.

∙ 13y agosorry i cant help you with that one but i have the same question only it says How does DNA direct a cell to become a muscle cell or a stomach cell? i just said in the DNA there are instructions u could say that for part of your answer... sorry not much help :(

∙ 13y agoMany introns (non coding parts) are present in the DNA which may lead to non functional protein specially in multicellular organisms. Secondly a specific mRNA of required protein is produced from DNA and then cell let it convert into the protein not all the DNA

∙ 9y agoDNA is the genetic material of life which transcribe to form RNA. Protein synthesis occurs in cytoplasm where RNA can be able to translate proteins. The codon triplets of RNA molecule codes for specific amino acids which join together to form proteins. DNA is not transported out of the nucleus and neither ribosomes bind DNA.

What codes for a protein in a eukaryote?
The mRNA is coded by the tRNA to make a protein.
Is a strand of mRNA short?
That depends on the type of protein it needs to make. Bigger the polypeptide, longer the mRNA.
MRNA is translated into?
Protein
Haw does antisense technology work?
Antisense technology is based on stopping the production of a protein. In order for a protein to be formed, the mRNA has to be translated (read by the ribosomes). The happens in the cytoplasm. There are stretches of nucleic acid bases called cDNA that are complimentary to specific mRNA sequences. These cDNA molecules can bind to the mRNA molecules and inactivate them. When mRNA is inactivated, it cannot be translated into a protein and a protein will not be formed. Since every protein is made by a certain mRNA, by inactivating the mRNA using cDNA molecules, the production of the protein can be stopped. This process is called mRNA silencing or antisense technology
What is the name of the process in which the directions for protein synthesis are given to mRNA by DNA?
Transcription is the creation of an mRNA from a DNA template. The mRNA then carries the instructions to the ribosome where they are translated into a protein.
What delivers the information needed to make a protein to the site of translation?
mRNA
What codes for a protein in a eukaryote?
The mRNA is coded by the tRNA to make a protein.
What is the message in mRNA?
How to make a certain type of protein.
What do ribosomes attract?
ribosomes is where protein is synthesised so i suppose they attract mrna for the code to make the protein and the amino acid to build the protein. ribosomes is where protein is synthesised so i suppose they attract mrna for the code to make the protein and the amino acid to build the protein.
Is a strand of mRNA short?
That depends on the type of protein it needs to make. Bigger the polypeptide, longer the mRNA.
Coverting mrna into a sequence of amino acids that make up protein is called what?
Converting messenger RNA, mRNA into a sequence of amino acids that make up protein is called translation.
What is small structures that make proteins?
The ribosome translates the mRNA into protein.
How do you make a protein from DNA?
mRNA transcribes a strand of DNA and carries the genetic code to a ribosome, where the mRNA code is translated by tRNA into a strand of amino acids, making a protein.
What is the order of how a cell changes DNA messages to protein?
DNA -> transcription -> pre-mRNA -> mRNA processing -> mRNA -> translation -> protein
What carries the protein parts to the ribosome and the mRNA?
tRNA carries the protein parts to the ribosome and the mRNA.
What is it called when making a protein is made using mRNA?
The production of proteins is called protein synthesis. This is further divided into transcription, which creates mRNA from template DNA, and translation, which uses the code of mRNA to make polypeptides.
What is used to carry the genetic code from DNA to the ribosomes?
The mRNA carries the genetic code needed to make a protein to the ribosome from DNA via microtubules.
