Document Summary

Dna is the instructions that tell the cells what to do. 4 different nucleotides, combining as codons, which are 3-nucleotide sequences. Three nucleotides make up a codon, many codons create an amino acid and proteins: explain the roles of mrna, trna, and rrna in translation. Trna rrna act as the interpreters between the nucleotide language of mrna and the amino acid language of proteins: describe what happens during initiation, elongation, and termination in transcription. Initiation is when the rna polymerase binds to the promoter region of dna near the beginning of a gene, separating the double helix near the promoter. Elongation is when the rna polymerase travels along the dna template strand, catalyzing the addition of ribose nucleotides into an rna molecule. The nucleotides in the rna are complimentary to the template strand of the dna. Termination is when the the rna polymerase runs into a sequence of dna called a termination signal.
