..., in two steps, protein; or more correctly tens of thousands of different proteins.

Step one: Transcription; a 'messenger Rna' copy of the nucleotide sequence, and hence the genetic information, contained within a strand of DNA is produced, processed and exported through the nuclear envelope to the waiting cytoplasmic rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER).

Step two: Translation; mRnas are fed into the ribosomes of the RER, where their information is extracted three bases at a time - that is to say, the Triplet Codons are translated into an amino acid sequence; three bases code for each amino acid.

What is the relationship among DNA molecule messger rna and protein?

well - at the moment the conventional wisdom is that DNA codes for RNA. RNA codes for the production of amino acids, which are the building blocks for proteins. Most scientists agree that this is the hierarchy - BUT there are a few that think that it can work the other way around...but this is considered unlikely and has never been shown.


What are the 3 kinds of RNA?

1) mRNA/messenger RNA: RNA molecules that carry copies of the DNA "codes" to the rest of the cell 2) rRNA/ribosomal RNA: makes up the major part of the ribosomes 3) tRNA/transfer RNA: transfers amino acids to ribosomes during protein synthesis


What is an exon's role in DNA?

The exon codes for the opening sequence of DNA for protein synthesis. It is a sequence of nucleotides that code for the RNA to begin transcription of the DNA to RNA protein.


What is the purpous of RNA?

RNA is genetically very important . It has a nucleotide base as Uracil in place of thymine as found commonly in DNA. The RNA is very important when the process of transcription is followed by the process of translation where T-RNA codes for the anti-codon and thus it gives rise to the proteins.


What is currently considered the best definition of a gene?

A gene codes for either a polypeptide or an RNA molecule.


What converts mrna into a protein?

RNA is not converted into protein, it codes for protein.


What type of RNA makes a copy directly from DNA?

Messenger RNA (mRNA) is the type of RNA that is transcribed directly from DNA during the process of transcription. It carries the genetic information from the DNA in the nucleus to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm for protein synthesis.


DNA and RNA are both types?

They are types of nucleic acids. DNA is found in the nucleus and RNA is found in the nucleolus (in the nucleus) and in the ribosomes. DNA codes for RNA, which codes for proteins which ultimately make up our body.
