Biochemistry Assignment 5 Task 3 - Give an illustrated account of the role of the nucleus during protein synthesis. Include the terms hereditary material, DNA, genes, chromosomes, RNA and the nucleolus. Each section of DNA (deoxyribo nucleic acid) codes for different components of the body to be made, and copied. Proteins can be copied from the DNA through a process known as protein synthesis. The nucleolus is a specialised ares in the nucleus which gathers together RNA and protein which migrates to the cytoplasm to form ribosomes essential in protein synthesis. Both DNA, and proteins are made up from many components, and breaking these down and re-forming helps to make the protein. Proteins are made up of many amino acids joined in a specific order and attached by peptide bonds. The specific order of the amino acids tell the protein what it is coding for, and how to fold into the secondary and tertiary...
