Why is DNA frequently found associated with protein inside cells?

Asked by rahzikstarr

Answer (2)

During DNA replication, mRNA copies the DNA in the nucleus and rRNA goes to the ribosome where proteins are made. tRNA matches up to the rRNA and creates polymers. This is called protein synthesis

DNA is associated with proteins in cells for protection, regulation of gene expression, facilitation of replication and repair, and the assembly of chromosomes. This partnership is essential for maintaining the integrity and functionality of genetic material. The processes involved ensure that DNA is accurately copied and expressed as needed within the cell.
