In 1953 BLANK were credited with the discovery of the structure of DNA. It consists of long chains of chemical units called BLANK each of which is made of three parts:
BLANK, BLANK and BLANK
The shape of the DNA molecule is known as a BLANK the 'rungs' of which are arranged as follows: cytosine pairs with BLANK while thiamino pairs with BLANK It is the sequence of these BLANK that determine the code of DNA.
DNA does not build a protein directly but undergoes the process of BLANK to create a
BLANK molecule. The three key parts to this process are BLANK elongation and
termination. A key enzyme that guides this process is BLANK Following this the next
process, BLANK takes place. During this process BLANK are removed, and BLANK
are spliced together. The final product, BLANK is now ready to leave the BLANK
The next key process is BLANK where the genetic code is converted from nucleic acid
language to protein language. This process converts the information stored in BLANK to a BLANK. There are a number of players' involved in this process. First the BLANK carrying
its amino acid cargo attaches to the mRNA at the small BLANK subunit and the process
begins. The five stages of this process go in this order: initiation, BLANK and termination.
During the process, the BLANK picks up their BLANK These are carried to the BLANK
where the mRNA BLANK binds to the tRNA. This continues and each new BLANK is
attached to the growing BLANK chain by a BLANK bond.
Now that the protein has been created it needs to be sent to other locations to function.
Proteins are critical to our functioning in many ways. One key importance is that these
are the processes whereby genes control the structures and activities of cells, or thinking
about what we learned in chapter 9, it is the way that genotype produces BLANK.
