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.
Translation is the RNA directed synthesis of polypeptides. This process requires all three classes of RNA. Although the chemistry of peptide bond formation is relatively simple, the processes leading to the ability to form a peptide bond are exceedingly complex.
