Genes are portions of the DNA that provide information to makeproteins. Proteins are long strings of (b).The production of proteins is a multi-step process. The first step istranscription. The portion of the DNA (the gene) provides information tofirst make a different macromolecule called (c).This macromolecule then moves then moves into the cytoplasm. where translation, or protein synthesis, takes place. There, it attractstransfer RNA, which reads by codons. A codon consists of three(d) . Each transfer RNA consists of a codon with an(e) attached. By this process a protein is produced

B) Proteins are long strings of AMINO ACIDS.

C) The portion of the DNA (the gene) provides information tofirst make a different macromolecule called (RNA) RIBONUCLEIC ACID.

D) A codon consists of three NUCLEOTIDES.

E) Each transfer RNA consists of a codon with an ANTICODON attached.

thrombocytopenia, which is a deficiency in blood platelets, can cause bleeding and bruising in the dermis similar to senile purpura. other possible causes include: exposure to ultraviolet rays and aging skin are common causes of senile purpura. senile purpura may also be a sign of collagen loss in the skin and bones.
