Detailed explanation-1: -Building a house is a good analogy for protein synthesis. The DNA would be the architect, who has the plans for the whole house. The DNA is changed into mRNA, which is like the copy of the blueprint given to the general contractor.
Detailed explanation-2: -This string of pearls is a good visual analogy for a protein. Pearls are the building blocks of a pearl necklace and amino acids are the building blocks of a protein. They are bound to each other and form a chain.
Detailed explanation-3: -Folding an origami crane from a flat sheet of paper is a common analogy for protein folding, but perhaps a more apt one is folding a paper crane out of string.
Detailed explanation-4: -An analogy for ribosomes is a factory. Ribosomes are like a factory because they produce protein for the cell. Ribosomes make protein for all cells. To do this, they read genetic information from DNA, called mRNA, and assemble the component parts of proteins, called amino acids.
