  • The DNA of a gene is not used to make polypeptides in the nucleus. Instead, RNA copies of the gene\u2019s code are made.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    \u00a0<\/p>\n

      \n
    • One strand of the gene\u2019s DNA is used to make many copies of messenger RNA, which have a matching code. This process is transcription.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  • The base sequence of mRNA is complementary to the coding strand of DNA. Except of course U instead of T<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      \n
    • RNA polymerase joins the RNA nucleotide to each other<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  • The rough endoplasmic reticulum has a supply of transfer RNA molecules that have specific amino acids attached. The tRNA molecules have anticodons that bind to the corresponding mRNA codon.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n\n<\/tr>\n
\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n
    \n
  • As the mRNA moves through a ribosome, the amino acids carried by the tRNA are combined in the correct sequence to form the polypeptide. This process is translation.<\/li>\n
  • The polypeptides formed can then be used to make a specific protein, which may be, for example, an enzyme, a membrane protein or a structural protein. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
