    DNA is copied through a process called transcription which occurs in the nucleus. Only one strand of DNA is copied, which contains the relevant gene. The copied strand is called messenger RNA. Transcription requires two enzymes, RNA polymerase and DNA helicase. In mRNA, the base T is replaced by Uracil. The pre-mRNA is then spliced to remove non-coding sequences called introns. This requires a complex of enzymes called the spliceosome. The resulting mature mRNA exits the nucleus via the nuclear pore. The mRNA leaves the nucleus and is decoded at ribosomes which are found in the cytoplasm. This process is known as translation. Each sequence of three bases, known as a codon, codes for

    From DNA to protein

    Fill in the blanks using the words below to help you if needed

    DNA is copied by a process called ______________ which occurs in the _____________ of the cell. Only _____________ strand of DNA is copied, which contains the relevant gene. The copied strand is called ___________________ . Trancription requires two enzymes_________ and _________. In mRNA, the base T is replaced by ______. The pre-mRNA is then ________ to remove non-coding sequences called ________. This requires a complex of enzymes called the ______________. The resulting mature mRNA exits the nucleus via the _______ ______.

    The copied strand leaves the nucleus and is decoded at a ____________ which are found in the cytoplasm. This process is known as ____________. Each sequence of three bases, known as a __________, codes for a particular _________________ which is brought to the ribosome by _________________________ molecules. The _________on tRNA binds to the complementary codon on mRNA to ensure the correct amino acid is bought over. The amino acids are joined together using energy from ATP and an __________. When a _________codon is reached, translation is terminated and the resulting amino acid chain folds in to a _________.
