Explain how a gene directs the synthesis of a protein


Explain how a gene directs the synthesis of a protein.

Include in your explanation thewords amino acid, anti-codon, codon, cytoplasm, DNA, mRNA, nucleotide, nucleus,ribosome, RNA polymerase, tRNA, transcription, and translation.

This is what I could come up with so far:

A gene is made up of DNA, which resides in the nucleus of a cell.RNA polymerase will 'read' a gene by matching each nucleotide (thebuilding blocks of DNA: A, C, T or G) in a gene according to thebase pairing rule with a complementary RNA nucleotide: A is matchedwith U, T with A, C with G and G with C. This will form a strand ofmessenger RNA which is transported to thecytoplasm.
