Protein Synthesis
The two phases of protein synthesis are transcription and translation.
In protein synthesis, DNA contains the directions for the structure of a protein. Within the base pairs, the DNA has a code for the order of amino acids needed to build the peptide chain.
Messenger RNA , or mRNA, copies the base pairs of the specific gene needed to make the protein and brings it to the ribosomes, as the DNA does not leave the nucleus.
Each transfer RNA, tRNA, is specific to a certain amino acid, so it collects the amino acid on the tail end and the other end connects with its corresponding codon in the mRNA creating the peptide chain.
Ribosomal RNA, rRNA, is contained within the ribosome. It binds the mRNA to the ribosome via base pairing.
Triplets are sets of three bases on the DNA strand that correspond to a certain amino acid when synthesizing proteins. A codon is the name of the three base set on a strand of mRNA. An anticodon is the end of the tRNA that attaches with the mRNA codon that contains the corresponding bases.
