Transcription of DNA into mRNA begins when RNA polymerase binds to a gene's promoter, unwinding the DNA and synthesizing a complementary RNA strand using one of the DNA strands as a template. This mRNA then undergoes processing, including splicing, capping, and polyadenylation, before being transported out of the nucleus. Translation occurs when the mRNA binds to a ribosome, which reads the mRNA codons (three-nucleotide sequences) and recruits transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules that carry specific amino acids. The ribosome facilitates the formation of peptide bonds between these amino acids, creating a polypeptide chain that folds into a functional protein.

What is intro splicing and what does it allow the cell to do?

Is the removal of introns (non-coding) from a the strand of a newly formed messenger rna. Thus enabling it to carry out its function. It allows cell to translate some the messages into amino acids.


What do organisms use to translate codons into amino acids?

Organisms use transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules to translate codons into amino acids. tRNA molecules carry specific amino acids and have an anticodon region that base pairs with the mRNA codon during protein synthesis.


The triplet code means that 64 codons translate into only 20 amino acids. What are the additional 44 codons used for?

The triplet code means that 64 codons translate into only 20 amino acids. The additional 44 codons are not used for anything, but they are rather a redundancy in the code.


Do protein store genetic information?

No, nucleic acids, such as DNA and RNA, store and translate genetic information into proteins. DNA -> RNA -> proteins The central dogma of molecular cell Biology.


Correct sequence of events during translation?

During translation, ribosomes bind to mRNA and translate the sequence of nucleotides into a sequence of amino acids according to the genetic code. Transfer RNA molecules carry specific amino acids to the ribosome based on the mRNA codons. The ribosome catalyzes the formation of peptide bonds between adjacent amino acids in the growing polypeptide chain until a stop codon is reached, leading to termination of translation and release of the completed protein.


Does contain nucleic acid?

I say nucliec acids store and translate the genetic information a cell needs tofinctoin.Nucliec acids such as dna are made u of nucleoticds.Both DNA and RNa are made from carbon,oxygen,hydrogen,nitrogen,and phosphorus p.s. im in 7 grade


What is the function of transfer?

tRNA mediates recognition of the codon and provides the corresponding amino acid. It mainly is recognized for carrying amino acids. It then gives to it mRNA to translate the nucleotides proteins.


How many natural occurring amino acids does the genetic code allow for?

There are 64 possible triplets. At least one of the triplets needs to be a stop codon, so theoretically 63 different amino acids can be coded for. In practice, there's some redundancy, and in humans all codons are either stop codons or translate to one of twenty amino acids.


A a g c t c t t a c g a a t a t t c how many amino acids are formed?

Amino acids are formed by translating mRNA codons, not directly from DNA. In this DNA sequence, there are no stop codons present. It would be necessary to transcribe this DNA sequence into mRNA and then translate it into amino acids.


Is the term tanslation appropriate for describing the synthesis of proteins?

I would agree with that.Translation is where the Ribosomes translate the mRNA transcript from the language of nucleotides to the language of amino acids (so to speak) and therefore protein synthesis.


A messenger RNA mRNA is 336 nucleotides long including the start and stop codons the number of amino acids in the protein translated from this mRNA is?

The number of nucleotides in an mRNA is directly related to the number of amino acids in the resulting protein. Since each amino acid is coded for by a sequence of 3 nucleotides (codon), the number of amino acids is determined by dividing the total number of nucleotides (336) by 3. Therefore, a mRNA of 336 nucleotides will translate to a protein with 112 amino acids.


Using mRNA code What would the names of the amino acids in this protein by?

To determine the names of the amino acids coded by a specific mRNA sequence, you first need to translate the mRNA codons into their corresponding amino acids using the genetic code. Each set of three nucleotides (codon) in the mRNA specifies one amino acid. For example, the codon AUG codes for methionine, while UUU codes for phenylalanine. If you provide a specific mRNA sequence, I can help identify the corresponding amino acids.
