Winds and wind systems on the Earth. 1  Wind is formed by the flow of air in horizontal directions. In meteorological definitions the coming direction of the wind is called wind direction. 2  1 m/s = 3.60 km/hr = 2.24 mph = 1.94 knot.
The production of proteins involves two major steps: transcription and translation. Together, transcription and translation are known as gene expression. The process of transcription only involves two molecules: DNA and RNA. A DNA strand provides a template for the synthesis of a complementary RNA strand. This process is used to synthesize any type of RNA from a DNA template. Transcription of a gene produces a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule.
The ribosome has a small and a large subunit and is a complex molecule composed of several ribosomal RNA molecules and a number of proteins. Translation of an mRNA molecule by the ribosome occurs in three stages: initiation, elongation, and termination. During initiation, the small ribosomal subunit binds to the start of the mRNA sequence.
