How are protein molecules produced through transcription and translation using these words?

• DNA

• mRNA

• RNA polymerase

• base pairing

• transcription

• translation

• tRNA

• rRNA

• ribosomes

• amino acids

• protein

Proteins are produced by translation of messenger RNAs (mRNAs), while mRNAs are produced by transcription of genes contained in the DNA molecule.

The RNA polymerase is the enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of the mRNA from the DNA sequence.

Both DNA and particular regions of the mRNA molecule are base-paired because this folding provides stability to nucleic acids.

The primary structure of proteins is formed by the amino acid sequence. The transfer RNAs (tRNAs) are molecules that link one particular codon of the mRNA molecule with its corresponding amino acid during the synthesis of proteins, while the ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) from the ribosome, which is the place where this synthesis is carried out.
