Steps
in Protein Synthesis - 2
DNA replication:
“ each single
strand of separated DNA acts as a template for
the formation of a new Adaughter@ strand of DNA
“ DNA
polymerase proceeds with DNA synthesis linking deoxyribonucleotides in the 5' to 3' positions creating two double-stranded DNA molecules according to
sequence of template
DNA transcription:
“ one gene
contains the amino acid sequence (exon) that codes for one protein. This exon only makes up a portion of the genome
“ the
remaining DNA sequences are non-coding (introns) or Ajunk
DNA@
