The Cell Will Survive

to to tune of I Will Survive by Gloria Gaynor
At first there was DNA in the nucleus
But how to get it to the ribosome without a fuss ?
The DNA cant leave, so it first must be
transcribed
And once it’s (m)RNA it can finally arrive
At the ribosome, where its translated
And the 3 bases of codons are neatly read
Then amino acids are brought by the tRNA
Bound together to make proteins, and then
they can save the day
The cell’s alive, it will survive
Transcription and translation are how proteins
are synthesized
DNA to RNA then RNA becomes proteins
Protein synthesis, all controlled by the genes
Translation
DNA is transcribed: T to A and A to U
these complimentary bases, keep the copied
sequence true
C to G and G to C
DNA simplicity
That’s the double helix code that makes you,
you and makes me, me.
