Anther term for DNA synthesis.?

Question

What is Nucleic acid and protein synthesis?

Answer 1

DNA replication is another term for DNA synthesis.

Nucleic acids (eg DNA and RNA) are biopolymer macromolecules made up of nucleotide chains. They are most commonly found as a means of storing genetic information in living organisms and viruses. They are usually synthesized by copying from another nucleic acid template with a set of replication enzymes.

Proteins are large organic molecules which are made up of chains of amino acids. The amino acid order of the protein chain is usually determined by the DNA of the organism. Proteins are synthesized in the cytoplasm of cells. The "instructions" for the protein are coded in an RNA molecule which in turn has been made in the nucleus, copied from the DNA original of the gene. The RNA enters the cytoplasm and ribosomes attach to it. These ribosomes then synthesize the protein.

Answer 2

DNA synthesis means making more DNA. Another term for that is DNA replication.

A nucleic acid is a molecule made of building blocks called nucleotides. DNA and RNA are nucleic acids.

Protein synthesis is the process of using instructions from DNA to build proteins out of building blocks called amino acids.

Answer 3

protein synthesis is also called translation
