all the information required to ensemble the correct protein

Question 5

what is outside of the cell nucleus in the cytoplasm?

Answer 5

the ribosome

Question 6

relevance of the ribosome

Answer 6

part of the cell that is going to produce our protein

Question 7

the production of a protein

step 1

Answer 7

The DNA strands in the nucleus of a cell split apart

Question 8

the production of a protein

step 2

Answer 8

a copy of the DNA is made onto an mRNA strand.

The base T is replaced with a U

Question 9

the production of a protein

step 3

Answer 9

The completed mRNA strand moves out of the nucleus into the ribosome

Question 10

the production of a protein

step 4

Answer 10

the ribosome reads the sequence of bases on the mRNA and assembles the amino acids into the correct order to make a protein
