here is a cell the basic unit of all living tissue in most human cells there was a Structure called a nucleus the nucleus contains the genome in humans the genome is split between 23 pairs of chromosomes each chromosome contains a long strands of DNA around proteins called histones within the DNA all sections cool jeans these genes contain the instructions for making proteins when a gene is switched on an enzyme called RNA polymerase attaches to the start of a gene it moves along the DNA making a strand of messenger RNA out of free bases in the nucleus the DNA code determines the order in which the free bases are added to the messenger RNA this process is called transcription before the messenger RNA can be used as a template for the production of proteins it needs to be processed this involves removing and adding sections of RNA the message then moves out of the nucleus into the cytoplasm protein factories in the cytoplasm called ribosomes binds to the message RNA the ribosome reads the code in the messenger RNA to produce a chain made up of amino acids there are 20 different types of amino acids transfer play molecules carry the amino acids to the ribosome the messenger RNA is read three bases at a time a beach trip that is red a transfer RNA delivers the corresponding amino acids this is added to a growing chain of amino acids what's the longest amino acid has been added the chainsaw into a complex 3D shape to form the protein
