185. Summary
Summary
The cell receives a message that tells it to make a protein. So the DNA within the cell
unwinds, and begins to make strands of mRNA. Then the mRNA is transcribed by
RNA polymerase, and give it codon pairs. Whenever it is finished, it leaves the cells
nucleus via nuclear pore. It has now entered the cytoplasm. A ribosome approaches
and attaches itself to a single strand of mRNA, and begins reading (translating) the
mRNA to make the amino acids necessary to make a protein. When the ribosome
reaches the stop codon on the mRNA, it forms a polypeptide chain. The Polypeptide
chain then compresses itself and forms the need protein. The protein then leaves to
carry out it’s designated duties.
