3.1 Cellular Metabolism:
Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) is replicated when enzymes begin to unzip the DNA. The enzymes do this by breaking the hydrogen bonds that are between the pairs. After this occurs, the unpaired bases are now free to bind with other nucleotides. They may only bind if the nucleotides have the appropriate complementary bases. DNA polymerase now attaches DNA nucleotides to one end of the growing strand of nucleotides. Now there are two DNA molecules, each has an original nucleotide strand beside the new strand. The two molecules are now identical to each other(McGraw-Hill). Transcription is the process in which DNA is converted to RNA. Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) is a polymeric molecule. RNA is involved in protein synthesis, and it is sometimes even in the transmission of genetic information. The main job of RNA is to transfer genetic information that is needed for the creation of proteins from the nucleus to the ribosome. Without RNA proteins could never be made (News-Medical). Transcription is the process of making an RNA copy of gene sequences. This particular copy leaves the cell nucleus and enters the cytoplasm. Translation is the process of translating the sequence of a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule to amino acids during protein synthesis. In the cell cytoplasm the ribosome reads the sequence of the mRNA in groups made up of three bases to assemble the protein (NIH). DNA, RNA, Transcription, and Translation are all mandatory for human growth and development. DNA is what makes each and every person unique and different in this world. DNA also helps us better understand why and even how things work. Every cell in our …show more content…
