Transcription
• RNA polymerase binds to DNA and separates the DNA strand.
• Then RNA polymerase then uses one strand of DNA as a template from which nucleotides are assembled into a strand of RNA
RNADNA
RNApolymerase
TranscriptionSection 12-3
Adenine (DNA and RNA)Cystosine (DNA and RNA)Guanine(DNA and RNA)Thymine (DNA only)Uracil (RNA only)
How does RNA read DNA?
• What is a codon?– Three nucleotides
• How does the RNA know where to start?– DNA polymerase only binds to promoters
• Specific codon that signifies the beginning of a sequence (AUG or methionine)
• How does the RNA know when to stop?– Specific codons that signify the end of a
protein chain (there are 3 of them)

Transcription Activity
• The following is a DNA code. Translate them into RNA and then into a protein chain using page 303 in your textbook:
• DNA= TAC CGA TTA GCG ATG AGT AGA ACT
• RNA= AUG GCU AAU CGC UAC UCA UCU UGA
• Start Alanine Asparagine Arginine Tyrosine Serine Serine Stop

Reviewing Transcription
• Making mRNA from Copying DNA• How is it different from DNA Replication?
DNA Replication TranscriptionCopies both strands making 2
new DNA moleculesCopies one strand of DNA
making 1 mRNA
Uses DNA Polymerase Uses RNA polymerase
Happens when cell splits Happens all the time
Translation
• Cell uses information from mRNA to produce proteins
– tRNA brings amino acids to the mRNA chain
– Anticodon on tRNA binds to codon on mRNA
– Amino Acids are bonded to each other in a process called elongation

Activity
• Transcribe and then Translate the following DNA code into a protein chain.
• ATTACACCGCATATACTAAC
Homework
• Explain the entire process for creating a protein (transcriptions and translation)– Use the following DNA code to help you:
• TCTACGCAAAGACCTTAGCATATAACACTTAG
– Use pictures or drawings to illustrate what is happening in each step
– Use the following vocab words:• RNA polymerase, Codon, Anticodon, Elongation,
DNA, mRNA, tRNA, amino aicd, protein
