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 small and large subunits join together to make 70S or 80S, respectively. Ribosomes really have two tasks: decode messenger RNA (mRNA) and synthesize proteins. The decoding function is performed by the small subunit and the protein synthesis part is performed by the large subunit. Talking to my scientist friends, I would call the ribosome a ribonucleoprotein complex, or RNP. That's a fancy way of saying that ribosomes are complexes made up of RNA (DNA's hipper relation) and proteins. Amazingly, the important functions of ribosomes aren't done by proteins, as was assumed for decades.
