It is the sequence of nucleotides in our DNA that makes each one of us unique. Specifically, it is the sequence of nucleotides in the coding sections of our DNA. 4.What do we call these coding sections of DNA that are used to make proteins?

So how do we take these coding sections and turn them into an actual organism? The answer is that these coding sections make proteins! This occurs through a complicated and beautiful process called protein synthesis.

Protein synthesis occurs in 2 stages. List the names below using the description:

5. - uses a DNA template to make a mRNA molecule (DNA → mRNA)

6. - uses a mRNA molecule to produce a chain of amino acids that will

Retype the question .

Proteins are the workhorses of the cell, controlling virtually every reaction within as well as providing structure and serving as signals to other cells. proteins are long chains of  amino acids  , and the exact sequence of the amino acids determines the final structure and function of the protein. instructions for that sequence are encoded in  genes  . to make a particular protein, a messenger ribonucleic acid (mrna) copy is made from the gene (in the process called  transcription  ), and the mrna is transported to the  ribosome  . protein synthesis, also called  translation  , begins when the two ribosomal subunits link onto the mrna. this step, called initiation, is followed by elongation, in which successive amino acids are added to the growing chain, brought in by transfer rnas (trnas). in this step, the ribosome reads the  nucleotides  of mrna three by three, in units called  codons  , and matches each to three nucleotides on the trna, called the anticodon. finally, during termination, the ribosome unbinds from the mrna, and the  amino acid  chain goes on to be processed and folded to make the final, functional protein
