proteins that can read DNA and copy it into RNA

400

Elongation

RNA pol creating a copy of DNA template strand as a single strand of mRNA

400

500

What is DNA

Polymer of deoxyribonucleotides (monomers) that are chemically bonded together

500
What happens after the promoter?

RNA pol bings with DNA & breaks the hydrogen bond that holds the double helix together

500

Ribosomes are... 

rRNA/ protein hybrid enzymes that are able of manufacturing any protein

500

Ribosomes need to do:

1. recognize & read an mRNA

2. take an individual amino acid

3. link amino acids together to form the primary structure of a protein
