Document Summary

After rna polymerase binds dna with the help of other proteins, it catalyzes the production of an rna molecule whose base sequence is complementary to the base sequence of the dna template strand. Eukaryotic genes contain regions called exons and regions called introns; during rna processing, the regions coded by introns are removed, and the ends of the rna receive a cap and tail. Ribosomes translate mrnas into proteins with the help of intermediary molecules called transfer rnas (trnas). Each transfer rna carries an amino acid corresponding to the trna"s three-base-long anticodon. In the ribosome, the trna anticodon binds to a three-base-long mrna codon, causing the amino acid carried by the transfer rna to be added to the growing protein. A cell builds the proteins it needs from instructions encoded in its genome according to the central dogma of molecular biology.
