Once generated, a tsunami wave in the open ocean can travel with speeds greater than 800 kilometres an hour (500 miles an hour). These waves can travel across the Pacific Ocean in less than one day. Locally generated tsunamis can reach coastlines in just minutes.
Although the nuclear DNA contains all of the information or codes necessary to make proteins, protein synthesis does not occur in the nucleus. Instead, an enzyme called RNA polymerase attaches to one end of a specific length of DNA and moves along the molecule making an RNA copy.lthough the nuclear DNA contains all of the information or codes necessary to make proteins, protein synthesis does not occur in the nucleus.

The ribosome (/ËraÉªbÉµËzoÊm/) is a large and complex molecular machine, found within all living cells, that serves as the site of biological protein synthesis (translation). Ribosomes link amino acids together in the order specified by messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules.Ribosomes consist of two major components: the small ribosomal subunit, which reads the RNA, and the large subunit, which joins amino acids to form a polypeptide chain.Each subunit is composed of one or more ribosomal RNA (rRNA) molecules and a variety of proteins.he large subunit is composed of a 5S RNA (120 nucleotides), 28S RNA (4700 nucleotides), a 5.8S RNA (160 nucleotides) subunits and 46 proteins. During 1977, Czernilofsky published research that used affinity labeling to identify tRNA-binding sites on rat liver ribosomes.
