As a nucleotide, my structure is consisted of a sugar, a phosphate and a base.

As me
and my friends are a part of the DNA, my base is adenine, while my friends’ bases are
cytosine, guaine and thymine. Together, we form genes as well as the unique structure of the
DNA, where we run alongside each other in two strands and are connected by hydrogen
bonds. However, today I will be telling you about our journey through two very important
processes of the DNA called transcription and translation.
Once upon a time, there was a need for the production of DNA in the body where I
lived and therefore, me and my friends were assigned a task by the enzyme called RNA
polymerase. We were separated into two single strands and we, on one strand, were joined by
RNA nucleotides. Our base sequences (those that form a gene) were copied into mRNA,
(making a copy of a gene’s base sequence, while making an RNA molecule is called
transcription) which carried the copy of our base sequence to the ribosoms with the
information needed for the synthesis of a polypeptide.
That (ribosoms) is where the second process, translation, takes place. The genetic code
the mRNA brings determines the amino acid sequence and the sequence of polypeptides,
while one amino acid is coded by a triplet genetic code, which is called a codon. (Therefore, it
is formed by me and two of my other nucleotide friends.) There is another type called transfer
RNA or tRNA waiting around the ribosome and it presents different triplets of bases called
anticodonds, which carry the corresponding amino acid. That’s when we in the mRNA bind
with those on tRNA and “settle” the amino acid and when our neighbours do the same, it
forms chains of amino acids. These chains later form a polypeptide, which is the happy end of
the story .
