Biology is the study of life and molecular biology specifically deals with the function of macromolecules like proteins and nucleic acids and how they are essential to life.

So how does this work? how do large chemical structures like proteins and nucleic acids play a role in the vibrant life that we see that we see the earth is teeming with like, trees and birds.

So first the process starts off with dna, which stands for deoxyriponucleic acid, a nucleic acid formed in the nucleus which contains our genetic information.
00:52
This is found in the form of nucleotide basis called adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine.
01:02
In the first step, called transcription, these nucleotide basis of the dna molecule, which is a double -stranded helix, is copied or transcribed onto a single strand ribonucleic acid called mrn.
01:25
So we go from nucleotide basis in the dna to a single strand mrna molecule.
01:33
Molecule.

Next, this mrna strand leaves the nucleus and travels to the ribosome, an organelle which specializes in the making of proteins...
