Question

Create a graphic representation that illustrates the steps from gene to protein. Label and describe each step.

Answer 1

Okay so,

1) Translation- show the RNA strand attatching to a DNA strand with the complimentary base pairs. introns are spliced

2) mRNA leaves the cell and joins with a ribosome

3) Transcription - tRNA (clover shaped) reads each codon (triplets) which each code for an amino acid. The stop codons on the end tell the tRNA that the chain is finished

4) the sequence forms the primary structure (all peptide bonds) which determines the shape of the secondary (hyrdogen and peptide) and hence determines the shape of the tertiary structure of a protein (ionic, hydrogen, disulfide bridges and hydrophibic interactions)

Hope this helps :)
