MRNA : transcription:: tRNA complete analogy |
|
Answer» A cell is like a restaurant – differentiated cell types are like restaurants specialising in different cuisinesThe DNA is the set of instructions for the cell – like a cook book is the set of instructions for a restaurantA single DNA instruction is a gene – this is akin to a single recipe in a cook bookTranscription is the process of making an RNA copy of a gene – RNA polymerase is like a photocopy machineThe mRNA transcript (i.e. photocopied recipe) is transported to the ribosome – which functions as the cookThe ribosome reads the mRNA one CODON at a time – as a cook WOULD read the recipe one STEP at a timeEach codon corresponds to an amino acid – just like each step in a recipe refers to a specific ingredientThe amino acids are brought to the ribosome by TRNA – these tRNA molecules are like kitchen handsThe ribosome joins the amino acids together to make a polypeptide – just like a cook mixes ingredients to make foodExplanation:mark me that I have brain |
