New cards
rRNA
ribosomal RNA (2 subunits, make up a ribosome)
4
New cards
protein synthesis
the code of bases on DNA corresponds to sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide (protein)
the gene code must be copied in the nucleus (transcription), spliced, moved to a ribosome in the cytoplasm (or ER) & finally read to make a polypeptide chain (translation)
