Document Summary

Dna replication: 1) helicase enzyme unwinds and unzips dna, 2) dna polymerase enzyme assembles and proofreads new. Dna strands: 3) each resulting dna molecule consists of one. Original strand and one new strand: the end product of dna replication, a complete copy of the genome, semiconservative replication. Transcription: happens in the nucleus, is the process of making mrna from the dna of one particular gene, what"s the point, end product of transcription, the cell can turn this message into a protein, rna, codes for insulin. Translation: happens in the cytoplasm, is the process of de-coding the message from rna and making a protein, what"s the point, proteins are important for all biological reactions. Translation: initiation: 1) the small ribosomal subunit binds to the mrna, 2) the first trna molecule, carrying an amino acid, binds to its complementary anti-codon, 3) the large ribosomal subunit binds.
