The connection between them is Vitamin D.

Vitamin D can be obtained from food and supplements, or synthesized by our bodies when we receive UV radiation in our skin, which is our major source. However, this vitamin comes <span>inactivated</span> and the only way to activate it is through enzymatic conversion (hydroxylation) in the liver and later in the kidneys.

 This vitamin is necessary in the intestines because allows calcium and phosphorus to be observed, leading to normal growth and development of bones and teeth. Without enough vit D, bones become fragile, causing osteoporosis.

What does an Mrna molecule play in the flow of information for protein synthesis
dimaraw [331]


mRNA plays a crucial role in protein synthesis. It carries the information for synthesis of a particular protein from the DNA to the ribosomes.

In the cell nucleus, this information is copied (transcribed ) from DNA and onto mRNA. mRNA then leaves the nucleus and enters the cytoplasm where it attaches to a ribosome.

Transfer RNA or tRNA  begins to read (translate) the information on the attached mRNA and from the pool of free amino acids in the cytoplasm, fetches the amino acids that corresponds to the information, and brings them to the ribosome where they are linked together into a chain, forming the primary structure of protein.
