I need to write a summary paragraph on Protein Synthesis. So far, this is what I have written:
The purpose of protein synthesis in gene expression is fundamental to who we are. DNA within a cell codes for protein synthesis. This protein synthesis is facilitated by messenger RNA strands, which transcribe the DNA code for one gene length, and then passes through a pore in the nuclear membrane and into the cytoplasm. Once in the cytoplasm, the mRNA creates polypeptide chains with the help of ribosomes. These polypeptide chains are simply proteins made out of amino acids. Depending on the sequence and types of amino acids in the polypeptide chains, different proteins will be formed that will cause the cells to form different structures.
Is this all correct? I'm gathering my information from many different sources, biology is not my major, and it's been YEARS since I've had a biology class. I'm not sure that everything I've written is correct. Please help.
Thanks.
