What are the two main processes involved in protein synthesis?
Transcription and translation.
Where does DNA transcription into RNA occur?
In the nucleus.
What is the process of making RNA from DNA called?
Transcription.
What is the role of RNA in protein synthesis?
RNA is a copy of certain DNA segments that carries the code to ribosomes for protein synthesis.
What is the process by which RNA is used to build proteins?
Translation.
What are polypeptides?
Parts of proteins that are made from RNA during translation.
How does RNA travel from the nucleus to the cytoplasm?
RNA moves from the nucleus into the cytoplasm after transcription.
What forms of RNA work together to build proteins?
Messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), and ribosomal RNA (rRNA).
What analogy is used to describe the transcription process?
Scribes making handwritten copies of documents.
How is RNA related to DNA in the context of protein synthesis?
RNA is a copy of certain segments of DNA, which provides instructions for protein construction.
