Use the following words to fill in the blanks: nucleus, base-pairing, transcription, translation, genes, cytoplasm, polypeptide chain, structure, ribosome, proteins, protein synthesis, cytosine, adenine, uracil, tRNA, mRNA, amino acid, DNA, RNA polymerase, codon.

DNA is made up of segments called

. Together these processes are known as
. The first step in protein synthesis is transcription, where
is used as the template for the creation of an mRNA strand. The enzyme,
matches up the correct bases, using
rules. When adenine is found on the DNA strand,
will be the complementary base on the mRNA strand. When thymine is found on the DNA strand,
will be the complementary base on the mRNA strand.
and guanine are the other two bases that pair with one another. Since DNA is too large to leave the nucleus of the cell,

Answer 1

-DNA is made up of segments called nucleotides

-Genes provide the coding to create codon

-Proteins are created through the processes of translation and transcription

-Together these processes are known as protein synthesis

-The first step in protein synthesis is transcription, where translation is used as the template for the creation of an mRNA strand.

-The enzyme, RNA Polymerase matches up the correct bases, using base-pairing rules. When adenine is found on the DNA strand, cytosine will be the complementary base on the mRNA strand.

-When thymine is found on the DNA strand, adenine will be the complementary base on the mRNA strand and guanine are the other two bases that pair with one another. Since DNA is too large to leave the nucleus of the cell, tRNA must be created.

-It is smaller and able to travel outside the nucleus of a cell. Next, mRNA leaves the nucleus, heads through the cytoplasm towards a ribosome where translation occurs. In the ribosome, a codón on the mRNA strand (3 bases), connects to the anticodon on a tRNA molecule. When the codon and anticodon connect, the amino acid on the tRNA molecule detaches, forming a polypeptide chain which eventually makes up the protein. Proteins are essential for life because they make up the structure of living organisms and help organisms to function.

Step-by-step explanation:

DNA contains the genetic information of all living things. The molecule is made up of two chains that coil to form a double helix. Each of the chains has a part made up of sugars and phosphate groups. Attached to each sugar is one of the following bases: adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine. The two chains are linked by links between the bases. The sequence of the bases is what encodes to form proteins and RNA molecules.

Answer 2

Use the following words to fill in the blanks: nucleus, base-pairing, transcription, translation, genes, cytoplasm, polypeptide chain, structure, ribosome, proteins, protein synthesis, cytosine, adenine, uracil, tRNA, mRNA, amino acid, DNA, RNA polymerase, codon.

. Proteins are created through the processes of translation

and transcription

. Together these processes are known as protein synthesis

is used as the template for the creation of an mRNA strand. The enzyme, RNA Polymerase

matches up the correct bases, using base-pairing

rules. When adenine is found on the DNA strand, cytosine

will be the complementary base on the mRNA strand. When thymine is found on the DNA strand, adenine

must be created. It is smaller and able to travel outside the nucleus

of a cell. Next, mRNA leaves the nucleus, heads through the cytoplasm

towards a ribosome

where translation occurs. In the ribosome, a codon

on the mRNA strand (3 bases), connects to the anticodon on a tRNA

molecule. When the codon and anticodon connect, the amino acid

on the tRNA molecule detaches, forming a polypeptide chain

which eventually makes up the protein. Proteins are essential for life because they make up the structure
