... proteins, but tell the cell what to make. (Heath, 111-113) For a cell to build a protein according to the DNA's request, a mRNA must first reach a ribosome. After this has occurred, translation can begin to take place. Chains of amino acids are constructed according to the information which has been carried by the mRNA. The ribosomes are able to translate the mRNA ... more nucleotides were added to show what happens during replication. For the second part of the lab, models of DNA, mRNA, tRNA, and amino acids were used to simulate transcription, translation, and protein synthesis. The m...

... immune responses. An integrin aids the process of integrating its genome into the host cell. Once in the cell, the viral RNA can go through its process of replication, transcription, translation and exiting from the cell. The highly conserved binding protein region of the WNV, and a complementary binging site on the host cell, suggest a degree of specificity between the virus and ... ...
