Polypeptide

... ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and transfer RNA (tRNA) , but here we are concerned with mRNA. A protein is simply a large peptide, and can also be called a polypeptide. The building blocks of peptides and proteins are amino acids, which are linked by amide (peptide) bonds. The RNA can be converted back ...

well not really. you see each chromosome has 2 alleles that produce their own polypeptide products. But the fact that a hemoglobin molecule contains two alpha chains does not necessarily mean that one subunit came from one allele and the other came from the other ...

In Eukayotes most of the genes are interrupted. Information in the genes are encrypted in sequences that will ultimately become a part of the polypeptide chain are called exons. But these exons are interrupted by long sequences which do not become a part of the polypeptide chain and they are ...

... the RNA chain. The corresponding amino acid which is brought by the tRNA reacts chemically in the ribosome to form the peptide bond in the forming polypeptide chain of protein. Then there is a special codon which ends the process--can't remember what it's called off hand. There is a great video ...
