Genomes to Proteins

Utmost genes contain the information demanded to make functional motes called proteins. The trip from gene to protein is complex and tightly controlled within each cell. It consists of two major way recap and restatement. Together, recap and restatement are known as gene expression. During the process of recap, the information stored in a gene's DNA is passed to an analogous patch called RNA in the cell nucleus. Enzymes read the information in a DNA patch and transcribes it into a central patch called runner ribonucleic acid, or mRNA. Next, the information contained in the mRNA patch is restated into the" language" of amino acids, which are the structure blocks of proteins.
