In this Project my group and I made a poster on Type 2 Diabetes. There were 3 parts to the project. The first was about type 2 Diabetes; the second was transcription and translation; the third part is protein folding. My contribution to this project was the transcription and the translation. I felt like I learned a lot for the test and a lot for my future.

Dna-a self-replicating material that is present in nearly all living organisms as the main constituent of chromesomes. It is the carrier of genetic information.Rna- ribonucleic acid, a nucleic acid present in all living cells. Its principal role is to act as a messenger carrying instructions from DNA for controlling the synthesis of proteins, although in some viruses RNA rather than DNA carries the genetic information.mRNA-Messenger RNA molecules carry the genetic information needed to make proteins. tRNA-Transfer RNA (abbreviated tRNA) is a small RNA molecule that plays a key role in protein synthesis. mRNA Polymerase- As complex molecule composed of protein subunits, RNA polymerase controls the process of transcription, Protein folding- Protein folding is the physical process by which a linear polypeptide folds into its characteristic and functional three-dimensional structure. Transcription- transcription converts DNA into messenger RNA (mRNA). Translation- Translation then decodes mRNA into amino acids.

What I did well-

Something I did well in this project was actually doing what I had to do. I felt like I was very successful with my work on this project versus projects in the past.
Another thing I did well was working well with my group members. I felt like the communication was very good and we all helped each other stay on task.

What I need to work on-

I need to work on managing my time better. I felt like I spent the first half doing nothing and had to cram the second half. I think I could have easily finished the project earlier.
