TRANSCRIPTION: Transcription is the process of which DNA matches corresponding RNA bases, Transcription is located in the Nucleus, and the only type of RNA that is involved in Transcription is mRNA, and the purpose is so that the code can get out of the Nucleus, mRNA is also made through Transcription, It also takes information that doesn't directly make proteins but it helps makes codes for the production of proteins, DNA Transcription consist of 4 nucleotide bases, Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, Guanine. Transcription also unwinds the strand of DNA and the RNA comes in and matches then becomes a single strand. The only thing that changes during this process is the Thymine gets replaced with Uracil.

TRANSLATION: Translation is the process of which RNA helps in the making of Protein, Translation is located in the Cytoplasm, and DNA is not involved in Translation, the ending result of Translation is the production Amino Acids, in Translation, tRNA and Ribosomes work together to make Proteins, Translation is when mRNA connects with tRNA but the Amino Acids information code is the 3 nucleotides bases in the mRNA code, the nucleotides that are in tRNA are Adenine, Uracil, Cytosine, Guanine, those 4 nucleotides never change, The mRNA and the tRNA connect together to make a new double helix strand.

    DNA and RNA

    Deoxyribonucleic acid and ribonucleic acid also know as DNA and RNA a closely related molecules that participate in transmitting and expressing genetic information. Both the DNA and the RNA have molecular chains containing alternating units of sugar and phosphate. Now each sugar unit has nitrogen containing molecules called nucleotide bases that hand off of them. The different sugar units in DNA and RNA are responsible for the differences between the two biochemicals. To contrast DNA and RNA you need to look at the physical structure of the two. DNA and RNA are identical except that on carbon binds to a hydrogen atom instead of a hydroxyl group. This difference means that two strands of DNA can form a double-helix structure while the RNA remains as a single strand. With that being said DNA 's double-helix structure is very stable, giving it the ability to encode information for a long time. Moreover, the cell creates RNA as needed during the process of transcription, but DNA is self-replicating.…

    By definition of dictionary.com gene is defined as the basic physical unit of heredity. a gene is a linear sequence of nucleotides that makes part of a segment called DNA. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a nucleic acid that contains genetic codes in the development and functioning of all known living organisms. DNA provides a a linear sequence of nucleotides along a segment of DNA that provides very important codes that make up humans for who and what they are. The process of gene expression is a process that is continuously regulated by the cells nucleus in the regulation of proteins. However, this long coding process has to start somewhere. As I said earlier this function is carried out by a cells nucleus where membranes regulate the function of what enter and leaves the cells through a wide range of mechanisms. On the outside of the membrane, certain receptors are triggered to certain proteins inside the cells cytoplasm. A certain receptor is made that enters the cells nucleus reacting with the DNA, in desire for the expressed gene. Expression is complex process upon which there are many steps which undergo. One is transcription. This is where a copy of one side of genetic information is made to be stored in DNA. Upon starting transcription, proteins are made to read the DNA called rRNA. A second process is involved called splicing. This is where unnecessary parts of RNA are made to create the gene the protein has sent out to make. After all necessary changes have been made to RNA, mRNA is decoded by the ribosome to produce a specific amino acid chains, or polypeptide, that will later fold into an active protein. This sets up the last set of what it takes to make the necessary protein. Posttraslational modification is the chemical modification of a protein after translation synthesis and is the final result of the process gene expression, which leads to the expression of…

    The process of transcription is where a copy of a gene is made within DNA to use as RNA. It is located in the nucleus of eukaryotes and in the nucleoid of prokaryotes. DNA stores information encoded in a genetic code. The code consists of four letters and they are T (thymine), G (guanine), A (Adenine), and C (cytosine). One gene codes for on protein. RNA is a molecule that copies information that is coded in another genetic code. This code also consists of the same four letters as in DNA yet with U (uracil), which is a substitute for T (thymine). RNA is a single strand, and has ribose sugar and not deoxyribose sugar. Transcription happens when information from DNA is copied into RNA so it can then produce protein. The first step is transcription is when the RNA (polymerase) enters and opens the DNA promoter at the TATA box which is the promoter region. DNA promoters are specific sequences that begin the RNA ride along the DNA strand. After connection with the RNA polymerase and promoter occurs the DNA strand is opened and the nucleotides are then exposed. Elongation begins when the RNA polymerase has reached the coding region of the DNA strand. The coding region is what contains the code that orders the amino acids that make up the protein produced. As the RNA polymerase molecule moves along the strand, it produces a growing mRNA strand that continues to grow as the nucleotides extend one by one. This process continues until RNA polymerase has reached the termination signal which is one of the three stop codon (UGA, UAA, and UAG). The termination signal is where the process ends, causing the mRNA to fold back upon itself. The process of transcription ends and the RNA and mRNA falls apart and separates from the DNA strand. In the RNA molecule an eukaryotic cell is usually interrupted by a section called introns which is the non coding regions. This section must be removed by splicing and the molecule rejoins in the correct…

    The process of Central Dogma of Molecular Biology is when DNA transcripts into RNA and then translates into protein. Transcription is the transfer of genetic information from DNA forming into RNA. The differences between DNA and RNA are the sugar that’s in DNA which is called deoxyribose and ribose for RNA which does not have sugar. When DNA replication begins, it begins at a specific point in the DNA molecule called the origin of replication site. The enzyme helicase unwinds and separates a portion of the DNA molecule. After the DNA polymerase separates a portion of the molecule it then initiates the process of replication in which DNA polymerase can add new nucleotides to a pre-existing chain of nucleotides. Therefore, replication begins as an enzyme called primase and it assembles an RNA primer at the origin of the replication site. The RNA primer consists of a sequence of RNA nucleotides, complementary to a section of the DNA strand that is being prepared for replication. The RNA primer is then removed and replaced with a sequence of DNA nucleotides. Then Okazaki fragments are synthesized and the RNA primers are replaced with DNA nucleotides and the individual Okzaki fragments are bonded together into a continuous complementary strand. During transcription deoxyribose nucleic acid is formed into another nucleic acid which is ribonucleic acid or RNA. Transcription begins when RNA polymerase binds onto the double stranded DNA molecule. RNA polymerase moves along the strand of DNA making a complementary single stranded RNA…

    The DNA strand is read in the 3' to 5' direction and the mRNA is transcribed in the 5' to 3' direction by the RNA polymerase. Transcription occurs in the cell nucleus, where the DNA is held. The DNA structure of the cell is made up of two helixes made up of sugar and phosphate held together by the bases. The sugar and the phosphate are joined together by a hydrogen bond. The DNA is "unzipped" by the enzyme helicase, leaving the single nucleotide chain open to be copied. RNA polymerase reads the DNA strand from 3-prime (3') end to the 5-prime (5') end, while it synthesizes a single strand of messenger RNA in the 5'-to-3' direction. The general RNA structure is very similar to the DNA structure, but in RNA the nucleotide uracil takes the place that thymine occupies in DNA. The single strand of mRNA leaves the nucleus through nuclear pores, and migrates into the cytoplasm.…

    Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is a ubiquitous family of large biological molecules that perform multiple vital roles in the coding, decoding, regulation, and expression of genes. Together with DNA, RNA comprises the nucleic acids, which, along with proteins, constitute the three major macromolecules essential for all known forms of life. Like DNA, RNA is assembled as a chain of nucleotides, but is usually single-stranded. Cellular organisms use messenger RNA (mRNA) to convey genetic information (often notated using the letters G, A, U, and C for the nucleotides guanine, adenine, uracil and cytosine) that directs synthesis of specific proteins, while many viruses encode their genetic information using an RNA genome.…

    In protein synthesis, a succession of tRNA molecules charged with appropriate amino acids are brought together with an mRNA molecule and matched up by base-pairing through the anti-codons of the tRNA with successive codons of the mRNA. The amino acids are then linked together to extend the growing protein chain, and the tRNAs, no longer carrying amino acids, are released. This whole complex of processes is carried out by the ribosome, formed of two main chains of RNA, called ribosomal RNA (rRNA), and more than 50 different proteins. The ribosome latches onto the end of an mRNA molecule and moves along it, capturing loaded tRNA…
