Document Summary

We"(cid:448)e looked at dna, ho(cid:449) ge(cid:374)es are orga(cid:374)ised, (cid:272)o(cid:373)pariso(cid:374) (cid:271)et(cid:449)ee(cid:374) eukar(cid:455)otes a(cid:374)d prokaryotes, how they are expressed, how we produce and process mrna. Much slower process than transcription as seen in video. The job of this mrna is to carry the genes message from the dna out of the nucleus to a ribosome for production of the particular protein that this gene codes for. There can be several million ribosomes in a typical eukaryotic cell these complex catalytic machines use the mrna copy of the genetic information to assemble amino acid building blokes into the three dimensional proteins that are essential for life. The ri(cid:271)oso(cid:373)e is (cid:272)omposed of one large and one small sub-unit that assemble around the messenger rna, which then passes through the ribosome like a computer tape. The amino acid building blocks (that"s the small glowing red molecules) are carried into the ribosome attached to specific transfer rnas.
