DNA RNA Protein• DNA contains genes

which provide the information necessary to make proteins

• Different versions of the same gene result in different versions or amounts of a protein, and the differences in the protein result in different characteristics

How does RNA (ribonucleic acid) differ from DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)?

1. RNA has a sugar ribose2. DNA has a sugar

deoxyribose

3. RNA contains uracil (U)4. DNA has thymine (T)

5. RNA molecule is single-stranded

6. DNA is double-stranded

Transcription• The process that copies the message in a gene into a

messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule that will provide the instructions for making a protein molecule

• Started and controlled by an enzyme called RNA polymerase.– RNA polymerase binds to the DNA at a special point (start

signal)– RNA polymerase unwinds and separates the two DNA

strands– RNA polymerase adds and links complementary RNA

nucleotides as it “reads” the gene until it reaches a “stop” signal

1 Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) – Carrier molecule on ribosomes – holds the tRNA and mRNA in place

2 Transfer RNA (tRNA) - The molecule that physically couples nucleic acid codons with specific amino acids

3 Messenger RNA (mRNA) - The messenger that carries information from genes on DNA to the protein manufacturing ribosomes

• The process continues.

• The polypeptide chain gets longer.

• This continues until a termination (stop) codon is reached.

• The polypeptide is then complete.A U G G G C U U A A A G C A G U G C A C G

There is a tunnel through the large subunit of the ribosome that allows the growing polypeptide chain to pass out of the ribosome

• Termination of translation is triggered by stop codons

• A release factor enters the A site and triggers hydrolysis of the peptidyl-tRNA bond leading to the release of the protein.

Release of the protein causes the disassociation of the ribosome into its constituent subunits.

Transcription/Translation Quiz

What is transcription? Production of RNA molecules by copying part of DNA into a complementary sequence of RNA

Why is transcription necessary?Transcription makes messenger RNA (mRNA) to carry the code for proteins out of the nucleus to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm.

Describe transcription.RNA polymerase binds to DNA, separates the strands, then uses one strand as a template to assemble mRNA. It uses the nucleotide bases except it replaces Thymine with Uracil

Transcription/Translation QuizWhat is translation?

The genetic message encoded in RNA is used to create a polypeptide with a specific amino acid sequence

Describe translation.The cell uses information from mRNA and tRNA to produce proteins.

Why is translation necessary?Translation assures that the right amino acids are joined together by peptides to form the correct protein.What are the main differences between

DNA and RNA?DNA has deoxyribose, RNA has ribose; DNA has 2 strands, RNA has one strand; DNA has thymine, RNA has uracil.
