CONTENT:
DNA: deoxyribonucleic acid, a self-replicating material present in nearly all living organisms as the main constituent of chromosomes. It is the carrier of genetic information.
Translation: a step in protein biosynthesis wherein the genetic code carried by mRNA is decoded to produce the specific sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain
m RNA: Messenger RNA is a large family of RNA molecules that convey genetic information from DNA to the ribosome, where they specify the amino acid sequence of the protein products of gene expression.
Anti Codon: A sequence of three adjacent nucleotides located on one end of transfer RNA. It bounds to the complementary coding triplet of nucleotides in messenger RNA
Codon: A set of three adjacent nucleotides, also called triplet, in mRNA that base-pair with the corresponding aniticodon of tRNA molecule that carries a particular amino acid
Transcription: the process by which the information in a strand of DNA is copied into a new molecule of messenger RNA
Ribosome: A sphere-shaped structure within the cytoplasm of a cell that is composed of RNA and protein and is the site of protein synthesis
Amino Acid: A molecule consisting of the basic amino group , the acidic carboxylic group , a hydrogen atom , and an organic side group attached to the carbon atom
tRNA: Small RNA molecules that carry amino acids to the ribosome for polymerization
Polypeptide Chain: a single linear chain of many amino acids, held together by amide bonds
Folding: the process by which a protein structure assumes its functional shape or conformation

REFLECTION:
I spent the majority of my time during this project researching. This ended up not being a good use of time. I spent days trying to figure out what the code for type II diabetes insulin is. It took a long time to find but I did just in time for when the rest of my group was done with the project. So time management was ironically good because I spent so much time on one thing but it worked out in the end. My group mates were much better this project and i could take a backseat while joaquin and john worked on the bulk of the poster. I learned that I can rely on those group mates and also that you can't get some people to help no matter what they do. I could've made jovais contribute more and I could have spent more time on other things rather than just researching.
