This DNA is organized with proteins in to strands called chromosomes. The second function of the nucleus within a cell is its control of protein synthesis. The nucleus controls protein synthesis through messenger RNA (ribonucleic acid), which is produced in the nucleus according to the instructions of the DNA and is transported to the ribosome through the cytoplasm or the endoplasmic reticulum, it then conveys the genetic message to the ribosome ... large and small subunits of the ribosome attach to this mRNA and move along the genetic messenger. The genetic message from the nucleus is then translated into a protein; this protein has a specific amino acid sequence, which is read by the ribosome. This is how the genetic message of which proteins to synthesize is conveyed to the free or bound ribosome. Endoplasmic Reticulum Throughout the eukaryotic cell, especially those ...
