Chapter 12, Problem 37RE
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Whether it is possible to calculate the cost of protein synthesis, including the cost of making mRNA and DNA.

Concept introduction:

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the genetic material of a cell that is present inside the nucleus. The nucleotides of DNA are involved in encoding genetic information. The genetic information is carried by RNA (ribonucleic acid) from DNA.

The formation of RNA takes place through the transcription process. RNA encodes this information in the sequence of proteins. Proteins are the ultimate product of a gene that are responsible for the physiological, morphological, and anatomical characteristics of an organism.

Protein formation is a biological phenomenon that requires different types of RNA, ribosomes, and various other factors. Amino acids are joined through peptide bonds to form a protein and this whole process takes place in three steps.
