BIo 4.1.2- Summarize the relationship among DNA, proteins and amino
acids in carrying out the work of cells and how this is similar
in all organisms.
A set of five nitrogenous bases is used in the construction of nucleotides, which in turn build up the nucleic acids like DNA and RNA. Guanine, Adenine, Cytosine and Thymine and Uracil are the five nitrogen bases which pair up by the following:
A to T, G to C, and A to U in RNA.
A to T, G to C, and A to U in RNA.
Protein Synthesis- This is the process in which individual cells produce proteins. Enzymes in the cell's nucleus begin the process of synthesizing protein by unwinding the needed section of DNA, so that RNA can be made. The RNA forms as a copy of one side of the DNA strand, and is sent to other areas of the cell to aid in the bringing together of different amino acids that form proteins.
