About:
For this project we are task to in detail describe how a protein can cause a disease by going into detail what protein synthesis is, compare normal to diseases protein, and give a general background into the disease. After finishing the project we are suppose to give a presentation in any form to the whole, for my group we chose to make a scratch game on Alzheimer's disease.

Content:
Nucleus: A membrane-enclosed organelle found in eukaryotic cells. The Nucleus contains most of the cell's genetic information.
DNA: Deoxyribonucleic acid is a molecule that carries the genetic instructions used in the growth, development, functioning and reproduction of all known living organisms.
RNA Polymerase: Opens the double stranded DNA.
Transcription: The process which mRNA is copied from the DNA.
mRNA: RNA molecules that convey genetic information from DNA to the ribosome.
Translation: Process which mRNA is translated into a polypeptide chain.
tRNA: RNA molecules that is responsible for transferring amino acid.
Codon: A set of three nucleotides on the mRNA that codes a specific amino acid.
Anti Codon: a sequence of three nucleotides forming a unit of genetic code in a transfer RNA molecule, corresponding to a complementary codon in messenger RNA.
Ribosome: A organelle that is responsible for protein synthesis.
Amino Acid: Monomers of proteins. Through peptide bond it can form a polypeptide chain which is the primary stage of a protein.
Polypeptide Chain: Primary stage of a protein. determines the basic function of the protein.
Folding Protein: By folding into specific shapes. proteins can receive different functions.

Reflection:
This project we were able to create a scratch game laced with Alzheimer information. For this project we were able to finish this project at a reasonable time, we were efficient at doing our task, but that come at some negatives because we were using the scratch platform so most of our group members do not know how to use it efficiently, so one of our group member Owen have to do a lot of work. In this project I was able to learn the process of transcription and translation, and I was able to learn that if your body is not capable of producing a certain protein then you are having a disease. In this project there is definitely room for improvement in choosing a good platform for games where all of the group member can work on it, and at a certain times our group can be off task so we need to pick it up the next time that we are together.
