Re-reading the post now that I'm free-er allows me to better understand it.
I think I have a better udnerstanding of what's going on.
So... I supose my follow up question is.
First the DNA 'Unzips'.
Parts of one length are 'read' and made into RNA.
This RNA in turn is then turned into actual 'productive' RNA?
So.. the original DNA is just zipped back up after wards?
Cheers.
Not at work.
Pretty much. In protein formation, the portion of DNA which becomes unzipped is quite small and depends on the eventual length (in amino acids) of the protein to be formed. Proteins vary in length from just a few amino acids to many thousands of amino acids. Usually, a single gene on one chromosome is unzipped from which messenger RNA is formed (mRNA). This is called the transcription step. Next the mRNA forms translation RNA (tRNA). The protein is then formed from the tRNA. This is called the translation step.
Again, there are other things going on when this series of events occurs, involving enzymes, intron removal, promoters and terminators, non-translated binding sites, etc.
BTW, one of my numbered statements in my recent post above contains incorrect information (Item #5 about left-handedness), which was intentional on my part. I wanted to see if our famous scientist, CDF47, would spot it and call it out. Not surprisingly, he hasn't.
