PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The nucleotide sequence of a gene, through the medium of mRNA, is translated into the amino acid sequence of a protein by rules that are known as the genetic code.

Detailed explanation-2: -The majority of genes carried in a cell’s DNA specify the amino acid sequence of proteins; the RNA molecules that are copied from these genes (which ultimately direct the synthesis of proteins) are called messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules.

Detailed explanation-3: -During transcription, the enzyme RNA polymerase (green) uses DNA as a template to produce a pre-mRNA transcript (pink). The pre-mRNA is processed to form a mature mRNA molecule that can be translated to build the protein molecule (polypeptide) encoded by the original gene.

Detailed explanation-4: -Information from a gene is used to build a functional product in a process called gene expression. A gene that encodes a polypeptide is expressed in two steps. In this process, information flows from DNA → RNA → protein, a directional relationship known as the central dogma of molecular biology.

Detailed explanation-5: -Translation is the process of synthesis of protein from RNA. In translation, messenger RNA (mRNA) produced by transcription is decoded by the ribosome to produce a specific amino acid chain, or polypeptide, that will later fold into an active protein.
