Can someone please explain the basics involved in protein synthesis relating to DNA and RNA,?
I will assume you know the base names in both DNA and RNA. A strand of DNA is perfectly copied(transcribed) by matching the RNA base pairs to form a strand of mRNA. The mRNA is now a copy of the DNA message. That message must now be translated in such a way that the exact amino acids dictated by the DNA are placed in their proper order to make short peptide chains. The peptide chains would ultimately be placed together to form proteins. The DNA was also copied by two other forms of RNA; Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and transfer RNA(tRNA). Many different transfer RNA molecules were copied from the DNA and each tRNA is responsible to collecting and carrying a specific amino acid to a ribosome, where it matches with the rRNA, mRNA and tRNA. Each tRNA has a defined set of 3 nucleic acid bases called triplets. A tRNA bonds to the exact matching bases on the mRNA and rRNA, then another tRNA sets next to the first one and it continues until it leaves the ribosome. Each time a new tRNA sets next to th
