Each cell in a living organism contains a complete design for all of the mechanisms that sustain its life. This blueprint
is encoded in DNA and is called the genome of the organism. The basic activity of the cell involves maintaining an environment in which appropriate concentrations of
specific proteins drive the reactions that characterize its normal existence. Under changing external conditions, concentrations
of some proteins will be increased and others will be decreased. A new protein molecule is produced by copying a section of
the DNA blueprint onto a “tape” and then feeding this tape through a “machine” that produces the protein corresponding to
the design on the tape. The tape is actually an RNA molecule, and the machine that constructs new proteins under control of
such a tape is called the ribosome.
